The variant also mapped to SLC6A6, a taurine and beta-alanine transporter gene, implicated in Hypotaurinemic Retinal Degeneration and Cardiomyopathy (HTRDC) (51) and kidney fibrosis in diabetic knockout mice (52). The gene discussed is SLC6A6; the disease is hypotaurinemic retinal degeneration and cardiomyopathy.
