Infantile Nephropathic Cystinosis: A Novel CTNS Mutation

Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2019
Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by the accumulation of cystine in lysosomes, which results from defects in the carrier-mediated transport protein encoded by the CTNS gene.

An Isogenic Human Myoblast Cell Model for Cystinosis Myopathy Reveals Alteration of Key Myogenic Regulatory Proteins

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Cystinosis is a rare multisystem, autosomal recessive disease caused by dysfunction or loss of cystinosin (CTNS), which results in lysosomal cystine accumulation, primarily affecting the kidneys. Advances in renal transplantation, cysteamine treatment and improved medical care have increased life expectancy, revealing additional ...

Cysteamine–bicalutamide combination therapy corrects proximal tubule phenotype in cystinosis

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2021
Nephropathic cystinosis is a severe monogenic kidney disorder caused by mutations in CTNS, encoding the lysosomal transporter cystinosin, resulting in lysosomal cystine accumulation. The sole treatment, cysteamine, slows down the disease progression, but

Patient journey in cystinosis: focus on non-adherence and disease management

Drugs in Context
Background: Few studies have assessed patient-reported experience measures in nephropathic cystinosis. This study uses patient reports focused on the impact of cystinosis, cysteamine treatment-associated problems, and therapeutic adherence and suggests ...

Development of the Dutch translational knowledge agenda for inherited metabolic diseases

JIMD Reports, Volume 66, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Background Inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) may have considerable implications for patients and their families. Despite their individual rarity, covering a spectrum of over 1800 distinct diseases, the diseases collectively exert a significant impact, with often lifelong disabilities.

Liver Transplant From a Deceased Donor With Cystinosis: A Case Report

JIMD Reports, Volume 66, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Many inherited metabolic disorders (IMD) are associated with end‐organ damage necessitating organ transplantation. Although utilization of deceased donors with history of IMD warrants caution, there may be circumstances under which such donors could be considered as suitable organ donor candidates.
