About CLCN7

Cytogenetic location: 16p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:1,444,935-1,475,028 (from NCBI)

This gene has 16 transcripts (splice variants), 199 orthologues, 8 paralogues and is associated with 7 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in spleen (RPKM 16.9), kidney (RPKM 15.1) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The product of this gene belongs to the CLC Chloride Channel family of proteins. Chloride channels play important roles in the plasma membrane and in intracellular organelles. This gene encodes Chloride Channel 7. Defects in this gene are the cause of osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 4 (OPTB4), also called infantile malignant osteopetrosis type 2 as well as the cause of autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type 2 (OPTA2), also called autosomal dominant Albers-Schonberg disease or marble disease autosoml dominant. Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. OPTA2 is the most common form of osteopetrosis, occurring in adolescence or adulthood. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
