Findings may include: fractures; reduced growth; sclerosis of the skull base (with or without choanal stenosis or hydrocephalus) resulting in optic nerve compression, facial palsy, and hearing loss; absence of the bone marrow cavity resulting in severe anemia and thrombocytopenia; dental abnormalities, odontomas, and risk for mandibular osteomyelitis; and hypocalcemia with tetanic seizures and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Without treatment maximal life span in ARO is ten years.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div><b>IAO.</b> Onset is in childhood. Findings may include: fractures after minor trauma, characteristic skeletal radiographic changes found incidentally, mild anemia, and occasional visual impairment secondary to optic nerve compression. Life expectancy in IAO is usually normal.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div><b>ADOII.</b> Onset is usually late childhood or adolescence. Findings may include: fractures (in any long bone and/or the posterior arch of a vertebra), scoliosis, hip osteoarthritis, and osteomyelitis of the mandible or septic osteitis or osteoarthritis elsewhere.

<i>Treatment of manifestations:</i>
</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div><b>ARO.</b> Calcium supplementation for hypocalcemic convulsions; management of calcium homeostasis per individual needs; erythrocyte or platelet transfusions as needed; antibiotics for leukocytopenia; immunoglobulins for hypogammaglobulinemia. Newly diagnosed individuals should be transferred as soon as possible to a pediatric center experienced in allogeneic stem cell transplantation in this disease. The collaboration of pediatricians, pediatric neurologists, ophthalmologists, and psychologists is required to determine best treatment of neurologic and ophthalmic issues, which may include surgical decompression of the optic nerve and hearing aids. Treatment of fractures by an experienced orthopedist and dental care with attention to tooth eruption, ankylosis, abscesses, cysts, and fistulas.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div><b>ADOII.</b> Orthopedic treatment for fractures and arthritis with attention to potential post-surgical complications (delayed union or non-union of fractures, infection); fractures near joints may require total joint arthroplasty. Medical treatment for arthritis with anti-inflammatory agents; transfusions for anemia and thrombocytopenia; surgical optic nerve decompression, hearing aids, and regular dental care and good oral hygiene.</div></li></ul><p><i>Prevention of primary manifestations:</i> In ARO, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can be curative; however, cranial nerve dysfunction is usually irreversible, and progressive neurologic sequelae occur in children with the neuronopathic form even after successful HSCT.</p><p><i>Surveillance:</i> Complete blood count, ophthalmologic examination, and audiologic evaluation at least once a year; dental evaluation every 6-12 months or as directed. For ARO, follow up as directed by the transplantation center following HSCT.</p><p><i>Agents/circumstances to avoid:</i> In ADOII, activities with high fracture risk. Orthopedic surgery should only be performed when absolutely necessary.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p><i>CLCN7</i>-related osteopetrosis is inherited in an autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant manner: ARO is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner; about 40% of IAO is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and about 60% in an autosomal dominant manner; and ADOII is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div><b>Autosomal recessive inheritance.</b> If both parents are known to be heterozygous for a <i>CLCN7</i> pathogenic variant associated with autosomal recessive osteopetrosis, each sib of an affected individual has at conception a 25% chance of inheriting biallelic pathogenic variants and being affected, a 50% chance of being an asymptomatic carrier, and a 25% chance of inheriting neither of the familial <i>CLCN7</i> pathogenic variants.

<b>Parents of a proband</b>
</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Most individuals diagnosed with autosomal dominant <i>CLCN7</i>-related osteopetrosis have an affected parent.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A proband with autosomal dominant <i>CLCN7</i>-related osteopetrosis may have the disorder as the result of a <i>de novo</i> pathogenic variant. The proportion of individuals with <i>CLCN7</i>-related osteopetrosis caused by a <i>de novo</i> pathogenic variant is unknown.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>If the proband appears to be the only affected family member (i.e., a simplex case), recommendations for the evaluation of parents include x-ray investigation of the skeleton and molecular genetic testing for the pathogenic variant identified in the proband. Evaluation of the parents is used to confirm their genetic status and to allow reliable recurrence risk counseling.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>If the pathogenic variant identified in the proband is not identified in either parent and parental identity testing has confirmed biological maternity and paternity, the following possibilities should be considered:</div><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The proband has a <i>de novo</i> pathogenic variant.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The proband inherited a pathogenic variant from a parent with germline (or somatic and germline) mosaicism. Note: Testing of parental leukocyte DNA may not detect all instances of somatic mosaicism and will not detect a pathogenic variant that is present in the germ cells only.</div></li></ul></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Evaluation of parents may determine that one is affected but has escaped previous diagnosis because of reduced penetrance, failure by health care professionals to recognize the syndrome, and/or a milder phenotypic presentation. Therefore, an apparently negative family history cannot be confirmed without appropriate clinical evaluation of the parents and/or molecular genetic testing (to establish that neither parent is heterozygous for the pathogenic variant identified in the proband).</div></li></ul><p><b>Sibs of a proband.</b> The risk to the sibs of the proband depends on the genetic status of the proband's parents:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>If a parent of the proband is affected and/or is known to have the <i>CLCN7</i> pathogenic variant identified in the proband, the risk to the sibs of inheriting the pathogenic variant is 50%. Because ADOII is associated with both intrafamilial clinical variability and reduced penetrance (see <a href="#clcn7.Penetrance">Penetrance</a>), a sib who inherits a <i>CLCN7</i> pathogenic variant associated with autosomal dominant <i>CLCN7</i>-related osteopetrosis may be more or less severely affected than the proband.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>If the proband has a known <i>CLCN7</i> pathogenic variant that cannot be detected in the leukocyte DNA of either parent, the recurrence risk to sibs is estimated to be 1% because of the theoretic possibility of parental germline mosaicism [<a class="bibr" href="#clcn7.REF.rahbari.2016.126" rid="clcn7.REF.rahbari.2016.126">Rahbari et al 2016</a>].</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>If the parents have not been tested for the <i>CLCN7</i> pathogenic variant but are clinically unaffected, the risk to the sibs of a proband appears to be low. However, sibs of a proband with clinically unaffected parents are still presumed to be at increased risk for <i>CLCN7</i>-related osteopetrosis because of the possibility of reduced penetrance in a heterozygous parent or the theoretic possibility of parental germline mosaicism.</div></li></ul><p><b>Offspring of a proband.</b> Each child of an individual with autosomal dominant <i>CLCN7</i>-related osteopetrosis has a 50% chance of inheriting the pathogenic variant.</p><p><b>Other family members.</b> The risk to other family members depends on the status of the proband's parents.

The osteoclast is a highly specialized cell with the unique ability to resorb large amounts of mineralized bone tissue. After attaching to the bone surface, a sealing zone that isolates the resorption lacuna from the extracellular environment is formed. Large quantities of acidic vesicles then fuse with the plasma membrane juxtaposed to the bone surface to create the ruffled membrane. This structure is exclusively found in osteoclasts and secretes large amounts of acid into the resorption lacuna, which therefore is also referred to as an "extracellular lysosome" [<a class="bibr" href="#clcn7.REF.sobacchi.2013.522" rid="clcn7.REF.sobacchi.2013.522">Sobacchi et al 2013</a>].
