The role of KCC2 and NKCC1 in maintaining chloride homeostasis extends beyond brain development, as dysfunctions of these co-transporters are also observed in various neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease [10]. Here, SLC12A2 is linked to early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease.
