Body growth, upper arm fat area, and clinical parameters in children with nephropathic cystinosis compared with other pediatric
Abstract Children with infantile nephropathic cystinosis (INC), an inherited lysosomal storage disease resulting in cystine accumulation in all body cells, are prone to progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD), impaired growth and reduced weight gain; however, systematic anthropometric analyses are lacking.

Local Guidance on the Management of Nephropathic Cystinosis in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Region [PDF]
Cystinosis is a rare systemic disease characterized by the accumulation of cystine in tissues, leading to multi-organ damage. Infantile nephropathic cystinosis is the dominant and severe form of cystinosis with critical renal manifestations that require ...

Native kidney and graft survival in a cohort of Egyptian children with nephropathic cystinosis: national referral center experience [PDF]
Background Nephropathic Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder. In addition to kidney dysfunction, this disorder can also affect other organs, such as the eyes, thyroid, muscles, and central nervous system.

Nephropathic cystinosis: an international consensus document [PDF]
Cystinosis is caused by mutations in the CTNS gene (17p13.2), which encodes for a lysosomal cystine/proton symporter termed cystinosin. It is the most common cause of inherited renal Fanconi syndrome in young children.

Leptin signalling altered in infantile nephropathic cystinosis-related bone disorder. [PDF]
Abstract Background The CTNS gene mutation causes infantile nephropathic cystinosis (INC). Patients with INC develop Fanconi syndrome and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with significant bone deformations. C57BL/6 Ctns−/− mice are an animal model for studying INC. Hyperleptinaemia results from the kidney's inability to eliminate the hormone leptin in CKD.
