About CLCN1

Cytogenetic location: 7q34 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 7:143,316,111-143,352,083 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 284 orthologues, 8 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

The CLCN family of voltage-dependent Chloride Channel genes comprises nine members (CLCN1-7, Ka and Kb) which demonstrate quite diverse functional characteristics while sharing significant sequence homology. The protein encoded by this gene regulates the electric excitability of the skeletal muscle membrane. Mutations in this gene cause two forms of inherited human muscle disorders: recessive generalized myotonia congenita (Becker) and dominant myotonia (Thomsen). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
