CASE REPORT OF A PATIENT WITH CYSTINURIA
Cystinuria is a rare genetic disease characterised by the appearance of kidney stones. Clinically, it is manifested by renal pain, fever or haematuria. In untreated patients, stones may cause urinary tract obstruction and endanger the kidney.

A Novel Variant in Iranian Patient with Cystinuria: A Case Report
Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive disorder in which the renal reabsorption of cystine, arginine, lysine and ornithine are disturbed. The two genes, the pathogenic forms of which are responsible for the disorder, are SLC7A9 and SLC3A1.

Accuracy of urine pH testing in a regional metabolic renal clinic: is the dipstick accurate enough? [PDF]
Urine pH is a useful marker for assessing treatment need and efficacy in patients with nephrolithiasis. Though the gold standard of measurement is with a pH electrode, dipsticks offer the convenience of cost, ease of use, and the possibility of patients ...

Gene Dosage Sensitivity and Human Genetic Diseases. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Here we review the historical background and contemporary insights into genetic dominance, focusing on haploinsufficiency (HI), that is, when the function of only one allele of a gene is not enough to ensure a normal phenotype in a diploid organism.

Report of SLC3A1/rBAT gene mutations in Iranian cystinuria patients: A direct sequencing study
Background: Considering a few studies on the genetic basis of the cystinuria in the Middle East and the population-specific distribution of mutations in the SLC3A1, we tried to find genetic variants in three exons (1, 3, and 8) of SLC3A1.
