Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited cardiac ion channel disorder (channelopathy) that is characterized by prolonged QT intervals on the electrocardiography (ECG) and possess the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Jervell-Lange Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is a specific subtype of LQTS that is accompanied by congenital sensorineural hearing loss, inherited autosomal recessively, and higher risk of SCD. In this study, we aimed to investigate JLNS prevalence in deaf children attending special schools for hearing loss, located in our province.
