Intermediate cystinosis: a case report of 10-year treatment with cysteamine [PDF]

BMC Nephrology
Background 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.

Patient journey in cystinosis: focus on non-adherence and disease management [PDF]

Drugs in Context
Background: Few studies have assessed patient-reported experience measures in nephropathic cystinosis. This study uses patient reports focused on the impact of cystinosis, cysteamine treatment-associated problems, and therapeutic adherence and suggests ...

An Isogenic Human Myoblast Cell Model for Cystinosis Myopathy Reveals Alteration of Key Myogenic Regulatory Proteins. [PDF]

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle
ABSTRACT Background Cystinosis is a rare multisystem, autosomal recessive disease caused by dysfunction or loss of cystinosin (CTNS), which results in lysosomal cystine accumulation, primarily affecting the kidneys. Advances in renal transplantation, cysteamine treatment and improved medical care have increased life expectancy, revealing additional ...

Cystinosis

Klinische Monatsblätter für Augenheilkunde, 2023
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.

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2023
Background Cystinosis, a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the CTNS gene, is characterized by cystine crystallization and accumulation within multiple tissues, including kidney and brain.
