These channels transport positively charged potassium atoms (ions) out of cells. The movement of potassium ions through these channels is critical for maintaining the normal functions of <a class="image-modal" data-alt="Basic anatomy of the ear, from the outer ear to the inner ear" data-caption="" data-credit="Blamb/Shutterstock.com" data-filepath="images/PX000170_PRESENTATION.jpeg" data-imgtype="genetics" data-pix="PX000170" data-sourceurl="" data-title="Anatomy of a normal ear" href="https://medlineplus.gov/images/PX000170_PRESENTATION.jpeg" id="PX000170_5" title="Show image">inner ear structures<img alt="" aria-hidden="true" class="image-modal-icon" src="https://medlineplus.gov/css/img/icon_camera_small.png"/></a> and <a class="image-modal" data-alt="A cross-section of various structures that make up the normal heart." data-caption="" data-credit="U.S. National Library of Medicine" data-filepath="images/PX0002LE_PRESENTATION.jpeg" data-imgtype="genetics" data-pix="PX0002LE" data-sourceurl="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/" data-title="Normal heart anatomy" href="https://medlineplus.gov/images/PX0002LE_PRESENTATION.jpeg" id="PX0002LE_6" title="Show image">cardiac muscle<img alt="" aria-hidden="true" class="image-modal-icon" src="https://medlineplus.gov/css/img/icon_camera_small.png"/></a>.</p><p>About 90 percent of cases of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome are caused by mutations in the <i>KCNQ1</i> gene; <i>KCNE1</i> mutations are responsible for the remaining 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 hearing loss and an irregular heart rhythm characteristic of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome.</p></div>
