Intermediate cystinosis: a case report of 10-year treatment with cysteamine [PDF]
BMC NephrologyBackground Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by an autosomal recessive phenotype. Intermediate cystinosis, which progresses slowly and causes renal failure, accounts for approximately 5% of all cystinosis cases.

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

The assessment and treatment of the musculoskeletal manifestations of cystinosis [PDF]
Frontiers in NephrologyCystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a defective lysosomal cystine carrier protein, cystinosin, resulting in formation and deposition of cystine crystals throughout the body. The renal manifestations of the disease

A behavioral and electrophysiological investigation of conflict monitoring in cystinosis (CTNS gene mutations) using the flanker paradigm [PDF]
Frontiers in NephrologyCystinosis, a rare lysosomal storage disease, is characterized by cystine crystallization and accumulation within tissues and organs, including the kidneys and brain. Its impact on neural function appears mild relative to its effects on other organs, but

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 ...

Local Guidance on the Management of Nephropathic Cystinosis in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Region [PDF]
ChildrenCystinosis is a rare systemic disease characterized by the accumulation of cystine in tissues, leading to multi-organ damage. Infantile nephropathic cystinosis is the dominant and severe form of cystinosis with critical renal manifestations that require ...
