Abstract	Osteopetrosis, a group of highly heterogeneous genetic bone disorders, is characterized by deafness, increased bone density, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia and intellectual disability. Osteopetrosis can be divided into three subtypes: autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO), intermediate autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (IARO), and autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO). CLCN7 has been reported to be the most common gene responsible for the ADO-II subtype. In this study, a novel variant, c.175dupA (p.Met59Asnfs8), of CLCN7 was identified in a Chinese Han consanguineous family with suspected ADO-II. The proband was homozygous for the p.Met59Asnfs8 variant and exhibited multiple severe phenotypes, including deafness, short stature, brittle bones, optic atrophy, hepatosplenomegaly, intellectual disability, cleft palate and recurrent infection. However, except for the mother of the proband, who presented a series of clinical phenotypes caused by bone marrow failure, all the other family members who were heterozygous had no obvious abnormal phenotypes. Our study suggested that the novel variant p.Met59Asnfs*8 in CLCN7 was very likely pathogenic factor in our suspected ADO-II family. The phenotypes of heterozygous carriers may be affected by incomplete penetrance. Loss of function of CLCN7 caused by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) due to the frameshift variant was likely the underlying pathogenic mechanism. This study broadened the mutation spectrum of CLCN7, provided a foundation for timely and effective clinical intervention for related diseases, and demonstrates the importance of genetic counselling.
