Red List (low evidence)

Evidence Summary from Illumina curation team: CLDN6 gene encodes the Claudin-6 protein. The claudin family constitutes of a large group of four- transmembrane domain proteins that are essential for the formation of tight junctions responsible for the control of paracellular transport. Studies have demonstrated that CLDN6 and CLDN9 mediate the entry of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) into both liver and non-liver cells (Zheng et al. 2007) however, HCV infection is not dependent on the presence of CLDN6 (Haid et al. 2014; Fofana et al. 2013).
