Background Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized by accumulation of cystine in lysosomes throughout the body. Cystinosis is caused by mutations in the CTNS gene that encodes the lysosomal cystine carrier protein ...

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

Computational prediction of deleterious nonsynonymous SNPs in the CTNS gene: implications for cystinosis. [PDF]
Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the CTNS gene, which encodes cystinosin, a lysosomal cystine transporter.

First Report of CTNS Mutations in a Chinese Family with Infantile Cystinosis
Infantile cystinosis (IC) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a defect in the lysosomal-membrane transport protein, cystinosin. It serves as a prototype for lysosomal transport disorders.

Molecular characterization of CTNS mutations in Tunisian patients with ocular cystinosis
Background Ocular cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by intralysosomal cystine accumulation in renal, ophthalmic (cornea, conjunctiva), and other organ abnormalities.

Genetic basis of cystinosis in Tunisian patients: Identification of novel mutation in CTNS gene
Nephropathic cystinosis (NC) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by defective transport of cystine across the lysosomal membrane and resulting in renal, ophthalmic, and other organ abnormalities. Mutations in the CTNS gene cause a deficiency

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