Two novel CAII mutations causing carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome in two unrelated Chinese families.

Abstract excerpt

The carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) deficiency syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis (RTA) and cerebral calcifications (MIM259730). CAII deficiency syndrome is caused by mutations in the gene CAII, which encodes the enzyme carbonic anhydrase II. CAII mutations are rarely reported in the Asian population. Here, we described two unrelated CAII deficiency families of Chinese...
