Overview

Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition that leads to sensorineural deafness, long QT syndrome (LQTS) and other cardiac events. Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is due to KCNQ1 or KCNE1 gene mutations. The range of symptoms and severity of symptoms in Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome differs from patient to patient.

Historical Perspective

  • Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) was first discovered by Anton Jervell a Norwegian physician and Fred Lange-Nielsen a Norwegian doctor and jazz musician, in 1957.[1]

Classification

  • Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) may be classified according into two subtypes:[2][3][4]
Type Chromosome Locus Gene Mutation Protein Involved
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome 1 11p15​.5-p15.4 KCNQ1 Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 1
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome 2 21q22​.12 KCNE1 Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 1


Pathophysiology

Physiology

The normal physiology of KCNQ1 and KCNE1 genes can be understood as follows:


Pathogenesis

  • It is understood that Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is the result of mutations in the gene KCNQ1 and KCNE1

KCNQ1

  • KCNQ1 gene normally consists of 16 exons and have a general spanning of 400 kb.[5]
  • The normal gene product of KCNQ1 gene is potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 1.
  • When KCNQ1 gene undergoes frameshift mutation it results in yielding truncated protein.
  • Then the truncated protein either delete or duplicate the exons of the KCNQ1 gene and results in abnormal gene product which is known to result in long QT syndrome..
