Fertility Management in Cystinosis: A Clinical Perspective

Kidney International Reports, 2023
Cystinosis is a rare, inherited, lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the progressive accumulation of intralysosomal cystine and subsequent organ and tissue damage. The kidneys are the first and most severely impacted organ.
