Mutations in the CTNS gene encoding the lysosomal membrane cystine transporter cystinosin are the cause of cystinosis, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease. More than 140 CTNS mutations have been reported worldwide. Recent studies have discovered that cystinosin exerts other key cellular functions beyond cystine transport such as regulation

Nlrp2 deletion ameliorates kidney damage in a mouse model of cystinosis
Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CTNS gene that encodes cystinosin, a ubiquitous lysosomal cystine/H+ antiporter.

Omic Studies on In Vitro Cystinosis Model: siRNA-Mediated CTNS Gene Silencing in HK-2 Cells
Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the CTNS gene encoding a protein called cystinosine, which is a lysosomal cystine transporter. Disease-causing mutations lead to accumulation of cystine crystals in the lysosomes, thereby causing dysfunction of vital organs. Determination of the increased leukocyte cystine level is one

Nephropathic cystinosis presenting with uveitis: Report of a “Can't See, Can't Pee” situation
Nephropathic cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal disease characterized by accumulation of pathognomonic cystine crystals in renal and other tissues of the body.

Phenotypic variability in cystinosis: Lessons from an atypical case
Cystinosis is a rare monogenic autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the CTNS gene, encoding cystinosin. Loss-of-function of cystinosin leads to intralysosomal cystine accumulation, resulting in cellular dysfunction and ...
