Overview
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition that leads to sensorineural deafness, ventricular myocardial repolarization with results in 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][5]
| 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:[6]
- Both KCNQ1 and KCNE1 genes encodes for the slow potassium channel currents of the cochlea and the heart.
- Normally 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 depolarises 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 depolarizes and the currents are sent centrally where they are received as sound.
Pathogenesis
- It is understood that Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is the result of mutations in the gene KCNQ1 and KCNE1.[7]
- KCNQ1 gene normally consists of 16 exons and have a general spanning of 400 kb.[8][9][10][11]
- 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 gene normally consists of 3 exons and have a general spanning of 40 kb.[12][13][14][15][16]
- 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.[17]
- 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.
Genetics
- Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is transmitted in a autosomal recessive pattern.[18]
- Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome appear to have low penetrance.
- Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) include:

Differentiating Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome from other Diseases
- Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) must be differentiated from Romano-Ward syndrome, Timothy syndrome, Andersen-Tawil syndrome, Brugada syndrome, and Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).[19][20][21][22][23]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals in Norway.
- The incidence of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals in Sweden.
- It is estimated that Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) effects 166,000 to 625,000 children worldwide.
Prevalence
- The prevalence of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is approximately 1:200,000 individuals in Norway.[1]
Age
- The incidence of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 6.8 years.
- The exact time of presentation in Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is highly variable.
Gender
- Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) affects men and women equally.
Risk Factors
- The most potent risk factor in the development of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is KCNQ1 and KCNE1 genes mutation.
