Romano-Ward syndrome Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) [DS:H02091] Timothy syndrome
Description
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiovascular disorder resulting from mutations in cardiac ion channels. LQTS is characterized by prolongation of the QT interval in the electrocardiogram (ECG) and a propensity to torsades de pointes ventricular tachycardia frequently leading to syncope, cardiac arrest, or sudden death usually in young otherwise healthy individuals. Anesthesia in a patient with LQTS can trigger malignant arrhythmias and is therefore a high-risk procedure. There are two well-known syndromes with a long QT interval. The Romano-Ward syndrome is characterized by an autosomal-dominant inheritance without familial deafness. The Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) has an autosomal-recessive pattern of inheritance and is associated with deafness.

Title
Calmodulin mutations associated with recurrent cardiac arrest in infants.
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a highly lethal form of inherited primary electrical myocardial disease characterized by exercise- and stress-related adrenergic ventricular tachycardia without structural cardiac abnormalities. It manifests as syncope and sudden death and can be caused by mutations in the cardiac ryanodine receptor gene (RYR2) accounting for an autosomal dominant form (CPVT1) or mutations in the cardiac calsequestrin gene CASQ2 accounting for an autosomal recessive form (CPVT2).
