An Isogenic Human Myoblast Cell Model for Cystinosis Myopathy Reveals Alteration of Key Myogenic Regulatory Proteins [PDF]

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Cystinosis is a rare multisystem, autosomal recessive disease caused by dysfunction or loss of cystinosin (CTNS), which results in lysosomal cystine accumulation, primarily affecting the kidneys.

Cystinosin regulates Na+/H+ exchanger 3 trafficking and function in kidney proximal tubular cells [PDF]

EMBO Reports
Cystinosis is a systemic lysosomal storage disease resulting from mutations in the CTNS gene encoding the lysosomal cystine transporter cystinosin, leading to cystine accumulation in all organs.

CTNS molecular genetics profile in a Persian nephropathic cystinosis population

Nefrologia, 2017
Purpose: In this report, we document the CTNS gene mutations of 28 Iranian patients with nephropathic cystinosis age 1–17 years. All presented initially with severe failure to thrive, polyuria, and polydipsia.

A 57 kB Genomic Deletion Causing CTNS Loss of Function Contributes to the CTNS Mutational Spectrum in the Middle East

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
Background: Nephropathic Cystinosis, the most common cause of renal Fanconi syndrome, is a lysosomal transport disorder with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. A large number of mutations in CTNS have been identified as causative to date.

Leptin signalling altered in infantile nephropathic cystinosis‐related bone disorder [PDF]

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background The CTNS gene mutation causes infantile nephropathic cystinosis (INC). Patients with INC develop Fanconi syndrome and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with significant bone deformations.

Ultrasound in cervical traumatic neuromas after neck dissection in thyroid carcinoma patients: descriptive analysis and diagnostic accuracy [PDF]

Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2023
Objective: Cervical traumatic neuromas (CTNs) may appear after lateral neck dissection for metastatic thyroid carcinoma. If they are misdiagnosed as metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) in follow-up neck ultrasound (US), unnecessary and uncomfortable fine-needle

Biology of Cardiac Troponins: Emphasis on Metabolism

Biology, 2022
Understanding of the biology of endo- and exogenous molecules, in particular their metabolism, is not only of great theoretical importance, but also of high practical significance, since many molecules serve as drug targets or markers for the laboratory ...
