CTNS Molecular Genetics Profile in a Portuguese Cystinosis Population [PDF]
Background: Cystinosis is a multisystemic autosomal recessive deficiency of the lysosomal membrane transporter protein (cystinosin) caused by mutations in CTNS gene.

Molecular analysis of the CTNS gene in Jordanian families with nephropathic cystinosis
Objective: Nephropathic cystinosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder that is characterised by the accumulation of the amino acid cystine in several body tissues due to a mutation in the CTNS gene, which encodes the cystinosin protein ...

Nonimmunological hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is still a challenging diagnosis. The success of identifying a cause depends on the thoroughness of efforts to establish a diagnosis. We report a premature with NIHF. The hydrops panel revealed Noonan syndrome (NS) with a mutation in PTPN11 c.218C>T (p.Thr73Ile).

Diagnostic challenge in a patient with nephropathic juvenile cystinosis: a case report
Background Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder characterized by the accumulation of cystine in lysosomes. Cystinosis is much rarer in Asian than Caucasian populations. There are only 14 patients have with cystinosis alive in Japan.

CTNS mutations in publicly-available human cystinosis cell lines
Patient samples play an important role in the study of inherited metabolic disorders. Open-access biorepositories distribute such samples. Unfortunately, not all clinically-characterized samples come with reliable genotype information.

Neurological impairment in nephropathic cystinosis: motor coordination deficits [PDF]
Nephropathic cystinosis is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that results in accumulation of the amino acid cystine in lysosomes due to lack of a cystine-specific transporter protein.

First Report of CTNS Mutations in a Chinese Family with Infantile Cystinosis
Infantile cystinosis (IC) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a defect in the lysosomal‐membrane transport protein, cystinosin. It serves as a prototype for lysosomal transport disorders. To date, several CTNS mutations have been identified as the cause of the prototypic disease across different ethnic populations worldwide. However,

Human and animal fertility studies in cystinosis reveal signs of obstructive azoospermia, an altered blood-testis barrier and a subtherapeutic effect of cysteamine in testis [PDF]
Cystinosis is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the CTNS gene leading to lysosomal cystine accumulation.
