Description |
Kilquist syndrome (KILQS) is a novel autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by global developmental delay, sensorineural hearing loss, gastrointestinal abnormalities, and absent salivation. It has been reported that loss of function mutations in SLC12A2 cause KILQS. SLC12A2 encodes for sodium, potassium, and chloride transporter in the basolateral membrane of secretory epithelia.
