Added comment: The homozygous R753X was detected in a Chinese individual from a consanguineous family with leukodystrophy with ataxia (LKPAT) (described in a previous paper) as well as severe bilateral retinal degeneration with loss of photoreceptor and RPE.

Four additional patients with LKPAT (described elsewhere) have been reported with homozygous variants and ocular features (Table 1).

Transfection to HEK293T cells showed that R753X reduced channel activity compared to wild-type.

Additionally, patient iPSC-derived RPE cells carrying the R753X exhibited dysfunctional ClC-2 chloride channels and outer segment phagocytosis. These functions were rescued following the repair of the CLCN2 mutation using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. NB: No significant difference was observed in the R753X mRNA expression levels between the control and patient hiPSC-RPE cells (suggesting NMD escape).
