Chloride voltage-gated channel 7 (CLCN7) gene mutations can cause the disorder of acidification in lacunas and osteolysis, leading to osteopetrosis characterized by increased bone density throughout the body and lysosomal storage diseases. Deafness can be caused by nerve injury for bone compression, negative pressure in the middle ear and otosclerosis. This article will introduce structure and function of CLCN7 gene and CLCN7 protein, osteolysis process, including the introduction of osteoclasts and the mechanism of osteolysis, osteopetrosis, mechanism and treatment of osteopetrosis caused by CLCN7 gene mutations, as well as osteopetrosis and syndromic deafness, in order to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
