== 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.

Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is a rare [[autosomal recessive]] condition that leads to [[Sensorineural hearing loss|sensorineural deafness]], abnormal [[ventricular]] [[myocardial]] [[repolarization]] which results in [[long QT syndrome]] ([[Long QT syndrome|LQTS]]) and other [[cardiac]] events. Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is due to '''''[[KCNQ1]]''''' or '''''[[KCNE1]]''''' [[Gene mutation|gene mutations]]. The range of [[symptoms]] and severity of [[symptoms]] in Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome differs from [[patient]] to [[patient]]. In The United States of America in order to categorise a [[condition]] as a [[rare disease]] it should affect fewer than 200,000 people. [[Rare diseases]] also called as [[Orphan disease|orphan diseases]]. [[Orphan Drug Act]] was passed on 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.

=== Physiology ===
The normal [[physiology]] of ''[[KCNQ1]]'' and ''[[KCNE1]]'' [[genes]] can be understood as follows:<ref name="pmid20301579">{{cite journal| author=Adam MP, Ardinger HH, Pagon RA, Wallace SE, Bean LJH, Stephens K et al.| title=GeneReviews® | journal= | year= 1993 | volume=  | issue=  | pages=  | pmid=20301579 | doi= | pmc= | url= }}</ref>


=== Physiology ===
* Both ''[[KCNQ1]]'' and ''[[KCNE1]]'' [[genes]] encodes for the slow [[potassium]] channel currents of the [[cochlea]] and the [[heart]].
The normal physiology of [name of process] can be understood as follows:
*Normally the slow [[potassium]] channel currents were stimulated by the [[sound]], when stimulated the [[potassium]] from the [[Scala media|scala]] media passes the [[action potential]] through the [[apex]] of the [[hair]] [[Cell (biology)|cells]].
*The [[potassium]] [[action potential]] then [[Depolarization|depolarises]] the [[hair]] cells.
*Once [[Depolarization|depolarised]] there is a release [[calcium]]-channel-induced release of [[neurotransmitter]].
*The [[neurotransmitter]] then passes along with the [[auditory nerve]] and then [[Depolarization|depolarizes]] and the currents are sent centrally where they are received as [[sound]].

'''Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome''' is a condition that causes profound hearing loss and [[arrhythmia]], it is a type of [[long QT syndrome]]. This condition is inherited in an [[autosomal recessive]] pattern, and affects an estimated 1.6 to 6 in 1 million children, and is responsible for less than 10 percent of all cases of long QT syndrome.

== Interventions ==


Like long QT syndrome, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is a heart condition that causes the cardiac muscle to take longer than usual to recharge between beats. If untreated, the irregular heartbeats can lead to [[fainting]], [[seizure]]s, or sudden death.
* The feasibility of interventions depends on the severity of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) patients at the time of [[diagnosis]] which include:

[[Mutation]]s in the [[KCNE1]] and [[KCNQ1]] genes cause Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome. The proteins produced by these two genes work together to form a [[Potassium channel|channel]] that transports positively charged [[potassium]] [[ion]]s out of [[cell (biology)|cells]]. The movement of potassium ions through these channels is critical for maintaining the normal functions of the inner [[ear]] and cardiac muscle.
== Surgery ==


About 90 percent of cases of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome are caused by mutations in the KCNQ1 gene; KCNE1 mutations are responsible for the remaining 10 percent of cases. Mutations in these genes alter the usual structure and function of potassium channels or prevent the assembly of normal channels. These changes disrupt the flow of potassium ions in the inner ear and in cardiac muscle, leading to the hearing loss and irregular heart rhythm characteristic of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome.

Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition that leads to sensorineural deafness, abnormal ventricular myocardial repolarization which 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. In The United States of America in order to categorise 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 on 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

  • 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][2]
