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:[5]

  • Both KCNQ1 and KCNE1 genes encodes for the slow potassium channel currents of the cochlea and the heart.
  • Normally the the slow potassium channel currents were stimulated by the sound, when stimulated the potassium from the scala media passes the action potential through the apex of the hair cells.
  • The potassium action potential then depolarise the hair cells.
  • Once depolarised there is a release calcium-channel-induced release of neurotransmitter.
  • The neurotransmitter then passes along with the auditory nerve and then depolarize and the currents are sent centrally where they are received as sound.

Pathogenesis

KCNQ1

  • KCNQ1 gene normally consists of 16 exons and have a general spanning of 400 kb.[7][8][9]
  • 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.

KCNE1

  • KCNE1 gene normally consists of 3 exons and have a general spanning of 40 kb.[10][11][12][13][14]
  • The normal gene product of KCNE1 gene is potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 1.
  • Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 1 is also called as minK potassium channel protein beta subunit.[15]
  • When KCNE1 gene undergoes missense mutation it results in yielding truncated protein.
  • Then the truncated protein results in impairing potassium channel function, which is known to result in long QT syndrome.
