Infantile Nephropathic Cystinosis - Homozygous c.516dupC Mutation of the CTNS Gene
Objective: Cystinosis is a rare, autosomal recessive, lysosomal storage disorder characterized by cystine accumulation throughout the body, due to mutations in the gene encoding cystinosin, named CTNS.

Nephropathic Cystinosis: Symptoms, Treatment, and Perspectives of a Systemic Disease
Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the CTNS gene. Main dysfunction is a defective clearance of cystine from lysosomes that leads to accumulation of cystine crystals in every tissue of the body ...

Diagnosis and management of cystinosis: systematic review for a clinical practice guideline [PDF]
Background Cystinosis is a rare genetic disorder, with the majority of patients suffering from infantile nephropathic cystinosis, the most severe form. If left untreated, cystinosis causes serious morbidity, initially through progressive kidney and eye ...

Perspectives from cystinosis: access to healthcare may be a confounding factor for variant classification. [PDF]
Genetic variability persists across diverse populations, and it may impact the characterization of heritable diseases in different ancestral groups. Cystinosis is a metabolic disease caused by pathogenic variants in the CTNS gene causing the cellular ...
