Hypotonia–cystinuria 2p21 deletion syndrome: Intrafamilial variability of clinical expression
Two siblings presented similarly with congenital hypotonia, lactic acidosis, and failure to thrive. Later in childhood, the brother developed cystinuria and nephrolithiasis whereas the older sister suffered from cystinuria and chronic neurobehavioral ...

Potential diagnostic assay for cystinuria by capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry [PDF]
Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by abnormal intestinal and renal tubular transport of L-cystine as well as of L-lysine, L-arginine and L-ornithine.

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy: a rapid and novel diagnostic and monitoring tool for cystinuria [PDF]
Cystinuria is the commonest inherited cause of nephrolithiasis (~1% in adults; ~6% in children) and is the result of impaired cystine reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule. Cystine is poorly soluble in urine with a solubility of ~1 mM and can readily

Background Cystinuria is caused by the defective renal reabsorption of cystine and dibasic amino acids, and results in cystine stone formation. So far, mutations in two genes have been identified as causative.

In vitro assessment of antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic properties of Saccharin-Tetrazolyl and-Thiadiazolyl derivatives: the simple dependence of the pH value on antimicrobial activity [PDF]
The antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activities of a series of saccharin-tetrazolyl and -thiadiazolyl analogs were examined. The assessment of the antimicrobial properties of the referred-to molecules was completed through an evaluation of ...

Differential diagnosis of (inherited) amino acid metabolism or transport disorders [PDF]
__Abstract__ Disorders of amino acid metabolism or transport are most clearly expressed in urine. Nevertheless the interpretation of abnormalities in urinary amino acid excretion remains difficult. An increase or decrease of almost every amino acid in
