Gene: [08q22/CA2] carbonic anhydrase II (erythrocytic B); osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis (CA-II deficiency); Guibaud-Vainsel-Sly syndrome (osteopetrosis; CA-II deficiency);

COM

HGM Catalogue indicates the CA2 localization in chr 8q13-22.1.

FUN

[1] Catalyzes reversible hydratation of carbon dioxide: H(2)CO(3) = CO(2) + H(2)O. Cofactor: zinc.
[2] Systematic name: carbonate hydro-lyase."

FAG

On the classification of carbonic anhydrase and CA genes, see GEM:08q22/CA1.

PAT

The clinical triad - osteopetrosis, tubular (renal) acidosis, and calcification of basal ganglia (marble brain disease) - is known since 1972 as Guibaud-Vainsel syndrome. The carbonic anhydrase II deficiency as a cause of the pathology was indicated by Shapiro-1974 and determined by Sly-1983."

HET

V.A.McKusick believes that Guibaud-Vainsel osteopetrosis is different from both the malignant recessive Albers-Schonberg osteopetrosis (MIM:259700) and its dominant benign form (MIM:166600; osteosclerosis fragilis generalisata). The MIM Catalogue indicates two other forms of osteopetrosis (MIM:259710 and MIM:259720), which genetic bases are not revealed."

FOG

The inheritance is autosomal recessive.

HIS

[1] MIM-88 described CA2 as a codominant marker under the number 11481, with reference to osteopetrosis (as a consequence of this enzyme deficiency), which was registered as a recessive marker with its own number, 25973. MIM-90 and MIM-92 described CA2 under the number MIM:259730 (number 114810 was excluded).
[2] Previously the product of CA2 was referred to as carbonic anhydrase C."
