This gene has a provisional association with ?Deafness, autosomal recessive 103 (616042) in OMIM.
PMID: 30575790 - Geng et al 2018 - Characterized a loss-of-function mutant mouse model (miR-183CGT/GT), in which the miR-183/96/182 cluster gene is inactivated by a gene-trap (GT) construct. The homozygous mutant mice show profound congenital hearing loss with severe defects in cochlear hair cell (HC) maturation, alignment, hair bundle formation and the checkboard-like pattern of the cochlear sensory epithelia. Several predicted target genes of the miR-183/96/182 cluster that are known to play important roles in HC development and function, including Clic5, Rdx, Ezr, Rac1, Myo1c, Pvrl3 and Sox2, are upregulated in the cochlea.
PMID: 24781754 - Seco et al 2015 - 2 sibs, born of consanguineous Turkish parents, with early-onset autosomal recessive deafness-103 with a homozygous truncating mutation in the CLIC5 gene. The mutation, which was found by homozygosity mapping and candidate gene sequencing, segregated with the disorder in the family. Screening for mutations in the CLIC5 gene in over 200 mostly Dutch or Spanish probands with hearing impairment did not identify any other mutations.
PMID: 24285636 Salles et al 2014 - Further work on the Jitterbug mouse model - Confocal and scanning electron microscopy of CLIC5-deficient jitterbug (jbg) mice revealed progressive fusion of stereocilia as early as postnatal day 10. Radixin (RDX), protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor Q (PTPRQ), and taperin (TPRN), deafness-associated proteins that also concentrate at the base of stereocilia, were mislocalized in fused stereocilia of jbg mice.
PMID: 17021174 - Gagnon et al 2006 - From OMIM: 'Jitterbug' (jbg/jbg) mutant mouse is an autosomal recessive phenotype characterized by overt head-bobbing and circling behavior with an inability to swim, indicating vestibular dysfunction. Mutant mice also show hearing loss that progresses to complete deafness. Linkage analysis and candidate gene analysis identified the cause of the phenotype as a homozygous intragenic deletion in the Clic5 gene that resulted in a truncated protein.
Only 1 family plus some functional data from mouse.Created: 10 Apr 2019, 2:10 p.m.
I don't think this association was replicated in humans yet and original family is small - the gene also only scores 7 on a recently published rating schema so only just makes it into "moderate" category - see https://search.clinicalgenome.org/kb/gene-validity/9545
