Cystinosis is a rare inheritable lysosomal storage disorder characterized by cystine accumulation throughout the body, chronic kidney disease necessitating renal replacement therapy mostly during adolescence, and multiple extra-renal complications. The majority of male cystinosis patients are infertile due to azoospermia, in contrast to female patients

AbstractCystinosis is a very rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder with an incidence of 1 : 150,000 – 1 : 200,000, and is caused by mutations in the CTNS gene encoding the lysosomal membrane protein cystinosin, which transports cystine out of the lysosome into the cytoplasm.

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

Immunofluorescent Examination of Biopsies from Long-Term Renal Allografts [PDF]
Immunofluorescent examination of open renal biopsies revealed clear-cut glomerular localization of immunoglobulins not related clearly to the quality of donor-recipient histocompatibility in 19 of 34 renal allografts.

Halitosis in cystinosis patients after administration of immediate-release cysteamine bitartrate compared to delayed-release cysteamine bitartrate [PDF]
Halitosis due to dimethylsulfide (DMS) generation is a major side effect of cysteamine in the treatment of cystinosis. Recently, an enteric coated formulation of cysteamine bitartrate (RP103) administered twice daily was demonstrated to be non-inferior ...

Synthesis of diacylated γ-glutamyl-cysteamine prodrugs, and in vitro evaluation of their cytotoxicity and intracellular delivery of cysteamine [PDF]
To overcome the major disadvantages of cysteamine, the only registered treatment for the rare genetic disease cystinosis, nine prodrugs of γ-glutamyl-cysteamine (4) were synthesized for evaluation.

First two unrelated cases of isolated sedoheptulokinase deficiency: A benign disorder? [PDF]
We present the first two reported unrelated patients with an isolated sedoheptulokinase (SHPK) deficiency. The first patient presented with neonatal cholestasis, hypoglycemia, and anemia, while the second patient presented with congenital arthrogryposis ...

CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing of Hematopoietic Stem Cells from Patients with Friedreich's Ataxia. [PDF]
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of GAA repeats in intron 1 of the frataxin (FXN) gene, leading to significant decreased expression of frataxin, a mitochondrial iron-binding protein.

Low density lipoprotein oxidation by ferritin at lysosomal pH [PDF]
Oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been proposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We have previously shown that LDL can be oxidised by iron in lysosomes.
