SLC9A9 encodes the sodium/hydrogen exchanger 9 NHE9 which is expressed ubiquitously and thought to play a housekeeping role in pH homeostasis in the late endosome membrane. A defect in SLC9A9 can contribute to susceptibility to autism 16 (AUTS16; MIM:613410). Autism, the prototypic pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), is a complex, multifactorial disorder characterised by reciprocal social interaction and communication impairment, restricted and stereotyped patterns of interests and activities, and the presence of developmental abnormalities by age 3 (Morrow et al. 2008, Kondapalli et al. 2014).
