Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS): Sensitivity and Specificity

Introduction: - Syndrome characterized by congenital deafness, prolonged Q-T interval, and syncopal attacks

  • Hearing loss is congenital, bilateral, and severe to profound
  • AR inheritence, genetically heterogeneous with mutations in KVLQT1 and KCNE1
  • These genes encode for subunits of a potassium channel expressed in the heart and inner ear
  • Romano-Ward syndrome is an AD inherited genetic disease with long Q-T syndrome without associated
  • The prolonged Q-T interval can lead to ventricular arrhythmias, syncopal episodes, and death in childhood
  • Effective treatment with â-adrenergic blockers reduces mortality from 71% to 6%
  • Cummings 5th Ed. Chapter 147 Genetic sensorineural hearing loss
