The rs3737964 single‐nucleotide polymorphism of the chloride channel‐6 gene as a risk factor for coronary heart disease
AssociationN=2,393Li Zhang et al.(2015)· Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine

This case-control study of 1,193 CHD patients and 1,200 controls in a Chinese population found that the rs3737964 SNP in the chloride channel-6 (CLC-6) gene is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD). The TT genotype showed significantly increased risk (OR=2.32, 95% CI: 1.17-4.06, P=0.016), with even stronger association in smokers (OR=3.19, P=0.043) and individuals over 60 years old or males.

Deep sequencing study of the MTHFR gene to identify variants associated with myelomeningocele
AssociationN=96Chiamaka N. Aneji et al.(2012)· Birth Defects Research Part A: Clinical and Molecular Teratology

This deep sequencing study of the MTHFR gene identified variants associated with myelomeningocele (a neural tube defect) in 96 affected subjects (49 Caucasian, 47 Mexican American). The authors discovered one novel intronic splice site variant (c.171+3G>T) and found seven SNPs with significant allele frequency differences compared to ethnically matched reference populations (p ≤ 0.05, Fisher's exact test), including five SNPs (rs13306561, rs2274976, rs2066462, rs12121543, rs1476413) not previously associated with neural tube defects.

About CLCN6

This gene encodes a member of the voltage-dependent chloride channel protein family. Members of this family can function as either chloride channels or antiporters. This protein is primarily localized to late endosomes and functions as a chloride/proton antiporter. Alternate splicing results in both coding and non-coding variants. Additional alternately spliced variants have been described but their full-length structure is unknown. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
