Nephropathic Cystinosis: Symptoms, Treatment, and Perspectives of a Systemic Disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018 Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the CTNS gene. Main dysfunction is a defective clearance of cystine from lysosomes that leads to accumulation of cystine crystals in every tissue of the body ...

Hypothesis: Taurine therapy of nephropathic cystinosis may correct the deficiencies of cysteamine therapy [PDF]
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism ReportsUntreated nephropathic cystinosis is a lethal autosomal recessive disease. The current specific therapy, cysteamine, ameliorates the renal function loss, but does not alter the renal Fanconi syndrome, short stature, muscle weakness, male infertility, and

Transition from pediatric to adult nephropathic cystinosis care: the structure, challenges and lessons learned [PDF]
Frontiers in PediatricsCystinosis is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder that results in a build up of the amino acid cystine in the body ( 1). With early diagnosis and advances in patient prognosis over the years, this has led to an increasing number of adolescents and ...
