Description |
TIMES syndrome is a novel multisystem disorder characterized by telangiectasia, impaired intellectual development, microcephaly, metaphyseal dysplasia, eye abnormalities, and short stature. It has been reported that mutations in LRRC8C cause this disease. LRRC8C encodes a subunit of the volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs), key players in regulatory volume decrease of vertebrate cells by mediating the extrusion of chloride and organic osmolytes.
