Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness has been linked to disruptions in this gene.

The CLIC5 gene (53405) is more than a simple ion channel; it is a vital regulator of cellular morphology. By bridging the gap between the membrane and the cytoskeleton, it ensures the functionality of some of the body's most delicate sensory and filtration systems.

The importance of CLIC5 (53405) is most evident in two major systems:
