Overview

Timothy syndrome is a rare syndrome that follows autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Timothy syndrome is a multisystem disorder characterized by physiological and developmental defects which include long QT-prolongation, arrhythmias, structural heart defects, syndactyly and autism spectrum disorders. Timothy syndrome may be classified into 2 groups, classical form(type-1) and atypical form(type-2). Timothy syndrome caused by mutations in CACNA1C, which encodes for calcium channel α subunit. Timothy syndrome often ends in early death. The United States of America in order to categorize a condition as a rare disease it should affect fewer than 200,000 people. Rare diseases also called as orphan diseases. Orphan Drug Act was passed in 1983 by congress for the rare diseases. Today an average of 25-30 million Americans have been reported with rare diseases. The number of people with individual rare disease may be less but overall the number of people with rare diseases are large in number.

Historical Perspective

  • Timothy syndrome was first discovered by Reichenbach and Marks, in 1992.[1][2]
  • In 1995, Splawski, Reichenbach, and Marks were the first to give the name Timothy syndrome in the honor of Dr.Katherine W. Timothy who did the phenotypic analysis.[3]

Classification

  • Timothy syndrome may be classified into 2 groups as follows:[4][5][6][7]
Type Gene Protein involved Location Mutations Inheritance pattern Symptoms
Classic Timothy syndrome CACNA1C Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1C 12p13.33 Exon 8 a Autosomal dominant Long QT syndrome with syndactyly
Atypical Timothy syndrome CACNA1C Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1C 12p13.33 Exon 8 Autosomal dominant A very severe form of long QT syndrome without syndactyly

Pathophysiology

  • Due to the fact that exon 8(atypical Timothy syndrome) is more expressed in heart muscles than that of exon 8a(classic Timothy syndrome) patients with exon 8 mutation have a severe form of long QT interval.

Differentiating Timothy syndrome from other Diseases

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of timothy syndrome is unknown worldwide.
  • Only 20 cases were reported worldwide.

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of timothy syndrome is less than 1 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.

Mortality rate

  • In patients with timothy syndrome the average age of death is 2.5 years

Age

  • Timothy syndrome commonly affects individuals of younger age group, the median age of diagnosis is usally within the first few days after birth.

Race

  • There is no racial predilection to Timothy syndrome.

Gender

  • Timothy syndrome affects men and women equally.

Risk Factors

Screening

  • There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for Timothy syndrome.

  • The average age of death is 2.5 years in patients with Timothy syndrome.[28] [29]

Diagnosis

Symptoms

Common Symptoms

Common symptoms of Timothy syndrome include:[31][32]

Less Common Symptoms

Less common symptoms of Timothy syndrome include:[33][34]

Electrocardiogram

Physical Examination

HEENT

Heart

Neurodevelopmental

Extremities

Laboratory Findings

  • There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with Timothy syndrome.

Ultrasound

  • Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of syndactyly during pregnancy with Timothy syndrome patients.

X Ray, CT scan and MRI scan

Medical Therapy

Interventions

  • The feasibility of interventions depends on the severity of Timothy syndrome patients at the time of diagnosis which include:[57][58]

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)

  • ICDs are good alternative choice of treatment for the patients who are resistant to beta blockers.

Left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD)

Pacemaker

Surgery

  • Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with Timothy syndrome. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:

Primary Prevention

Secondary Prevention
