Dedifferentiation and aberrations of the endolysosomal compartment characterize the early stage of nephropathic cystinosis [PDF]
, 2017 Nephropathic cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the CTNS gene encoding the lysosomal cystine transporter cystinosin, is characterized by generalized proximal tubule (PT) dysfunction that progresses, if untreated, to end-stage ...

Abnormal mitochondrial autophagy in nephropathic cystinosis [PDF]
Autophagy, 2010 Cystinosis, which is characterized by lysosomal accumulation of cystine in many tissues, was the first known storage disorder caused by defective metabolite export from the lysosome. The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying nephropathic cystinosis, the most severe form, which exhibits generalized proximal tubular dysfunction and progressive ...
