Cystinosis and two rare mutations in CTNS gene: two case reports [PDF]

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by an accumulation of the amino acid cystine in lysosomes throughout the body. Cystinosis is an inherited disease resulting from the failure of lysosomal cystine transport.

Molecular analysis of the CTNS gene in Jordanian families with nephropathic cystinosis

Nefrología (English Edition), 2015
Objective: Nephropathic cystinosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder that is characterised by the accumulation of the amino acid cystine in several body tissues due to a mutation in the CTNS gene, which encodes the cystinosin protein ...

Computational prediction of deleterious nonsynonymous SNPs in the CTNS gene: implications for cystinosis [PDF]

BMC Genomic Data
Background Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the CTNS gene, which encodes cystinosin, a lysosomal cystine transporter.

Genetic basis of cystinosis in Tunisian patients: Identification of novel mutation in CTNS gene [PDF]

Meta Gene, 2015
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 of the transport protein, cystinosin. This study was performed to investigate mutations of the CTNS

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.

Molecular characterization of cystinosis patients: predominance of the CTNS c.829dup mutation in Center of Tunisia [PDF]

BMC Genomic Data
Background Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease caused by the accumulation of intralysosomal cystine in different tissues and organs including: brain, cornea, kidneys, liver and, pancreas.

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.

Intermediate type cystinosis with a novel CTNS variant in a child: a case report

Journal of Rare Diseases
Cystinosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by a variant in the CTNS gene that leads to the accumulation of cystine in the body’s tissues.

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.

Targeting oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation enhances podocyte function in cystinosis [PDF]

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Cystinosis is a rare, incurable lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the CTNS gene encoding the cystine transporter cystinosin, which leads to lysosomal cystine accumulation in all cells of the body.
