CLCN7 – without osteopetrosis
Abstract
Individuals with loss-of-function CLCN7 variants in known to develop autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant osteopetrosis. Recently Nicoli et al, however, described two children with the identical pathogenic de novo variant in CLCN7 showing cutanous albinism, delayed myelination and development, organomegaly, enteropathy and hypopigmentation, but no osteopetrosis. Whole-exome and -genome sequencing revealed a de novo c.2144A>G variant in CLCN7 in both affected children.
We now have an additional case of an adult patient with a similar phenotype and a de novo CLCN7 variant. To further confirm the phenotype of this new syndrome we welcome additional cases.
