“…Because ~20% of patients with dRTA do not have mutations in genes for H + -ATPase or AE1, additional candidate genes have been identified in mouse models of dRTA 3,6. These include HK α 2 (colonic H + –K + -ATPase),75 Kcc4 (K + –Cl − co-transporter, Kcc4),76 genes for the H + -ATPase C, G, and d subunits,77 Foxi1 (the Forkhead transcription factor, Foxi1),78 Rhcg (the ammonia transporter, Rhcg),79,80 Slc26a7 (Cl − –HCO3 − exchanger, Slc26a7, co-localized with AE1),81 DMBT1 (component of the pathway of acidosis-induced conversion of B-ICs into A-ICs, hensin),11 GPR4 (proton sensing G protein-coupled receptor, GPR4),82 NHE4 (Na + –H + exchanger 4, NHE4),83 SLC4A5 (Na + –HCO3 − co-transporter, NBCe2),84 Atp6ap2 (ATPase H + transporting lysosomal accessory protein 2, atp6ap2),85 and Ncoa7 (nuclear receptor coactivator 7, Ncoa7: an H + -ATPase interacting protein), as shown in Table 2 86. Although most of these genes have not been previously identified in human disease, Enerbäck et al identified homozygous FOXI1 mutations in two families with AR dRTA and early-onset SNHL 87.…”
