SLC12A2
The protein encoded by this gene mediates sodium and chloride transport and reabsorption. The encoded protein is a membrane protein and is important in maintaining proper ionic balance and cell volume. This protein is phosphorylated in response to DNA damage. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
Function
Cation-chloride cotransporter which mediates the electroneutral transport of chloride, potassium and/or sodium ions across the membrane (PubMed:32294086).
Plays a vital role in the regulation of ionic balance and cell volume.

Involvement in disease
Deafness, autosomal dominant, 78 (DFNA78):
A form of non-syndromic deafness characterized by congenital, profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss affecting all frequencies. Some patients may have mild motor delay early in life due to vestibular dysfunction. Sensorineural hearing loss results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information.
Delpire-McNeill syndrome (DELMNES):
An autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay, hypotonia with delayed or absent walking, bilateral sensorineural deafness, poor or absent speech, and mild to severe intellectual disability. Additional variable features may include spasticity or minor involvement of other organ systems, such as hip dislocation or ventricular septal defect.
Kilquist syndrome (KILQS):
An autosomal recessive, multisystem disorder characterized by severe global developmental delay, sensorineural hearing loss, poor overall growth, mild facial dysmorphism, gastrointestinal anomalies such as gastroesophageal reflux or midgut malrotation, and a striking lack of tear fluid, saliva, and sweat.
