Novel frameshift mutation in the KCNQ1 gene responsible for Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome
Objective(s): Jervell and Lange–Nielsen syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in KCNQ1 or KCNE1 genes. The disease is characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and long QT syndrome. Methods: Here we present a 3.5-year-old female patient, an offspring of consanguineous marriage, who had a history of recurrent syncope and congenital sensorineural deafness. The patient ...
متن کاملJervell-Lange Nielsen syndrome in a Pakistani family.
Congenital long QT syndrome is a rare hereditary disease that is related to the dysfunction of ion channels in cardiac cells. We report on a very rare case of its autosomal recessive form--the Jervell-Lange Nielsen syndrome--in a Pakistani family, which was diagnosed after the incidental finding of bradycardia in a newborn baby girl. We discuss the range of presentations in neonates; the import...
متن کاملJervell and Lange-Nielsen Syndrome: Novel Compound Heterozygous Mutations in the KCNQ1 in a Korean Family
The Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by congenital deafness and cardiac phenotype (QT prolongation, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden death). JLNS has been shown to occur due to homozygous mutation in KCNQ1 or KCNE1. There have been a few clinical case reports on JLNS in Korea; however, these were not confirmed by a genetic study. We i...
متن کاملThe Jervell and Lange-Nielsen Syndrome
Background—Data on the Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (J-LN), the long-QT syndrome (LQTS) variant associated with deafness and caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations on the KCNQ1 or on the KCNE1 genes encoding the IKs current, are still based largely on case reports. Methods and Results—We analyzed data from 186 J-LN patients obtained from the literature (31%) and from indi...
متن کاملThe Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome.
Deafness and electrocardiographic changes (prolongation of the Q-T interval and inversion of the T wave) with a clinical picture of syncopal attacks and sudden death, were described as a distinct syndrome by Jervell and Lange-Nielsen in 1957. The syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. In this study, all the cases reported since 1957 and their proposed prevalence are reviewed. Th...
