Pulmonary dysfunction in children with Cystinosis: single center study, original article
Background Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder involving lysosomal storage of the amino acid cystine due to a defect in the membrane transport protein, cystinosin.

Cell-Based Phenotypic Drug Screening Identifies Luteolin as Candidate Therapeutic for Nephropathic Cystinosis [PDF]
Background Mutations in the gene that encodes the lysosomal cystine transporter cystinosin cause the lysosomal storage disease cystinosis. Defective cystine transport leads to intralysosomal accumulation and crystallization of cystine.

Impaired autophagy bridges lysosomal storage disease and epithelial dysfunction in the kidney
Nephropathic cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease characterized by proximal tubular cell dysfunction. Here Festa and colleagues show that these lysosomal alterations lead to defective autophagic clearance of mitochondria and increased oxidative ...

Early genetic diagnosis of cystinosis before corneal crystal deposition: two case reports from South India [PDF]
Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder with an incidence of approximately 1 in 100,000 to 200,000 live births. It is the most common cause of inherited pediatric Fanconi syndrome (FS).

Hirschsprung′s disease with infantile nephropathic cystinosis
The case of a 3-year-old boy diagnosed to have Hirschsprung's disease with infantile nephropathic cystinosis is being reported. Both these conditions are etiologically and genetically different as per current understanding and available information. The association is incidental and has not reported before in the English literature.

Mutational Spectrum of the CTNS Gene in Egyptian Patients with Nephropathic Cystinosis
Nephropathic cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CTNS gene, encoding for cystinosin, a carrier protein transporting cystine out of lysosomes.

Clinical perspectives on myopathic complications in nephropathic cystinosis
Patients with nephropathic cystinosis are now living into their 50s and beyond thanks to advances in medical management. Due to this shift in the natural history of the disease, monitoring for and addressing extrarenal manifestations, including myopathy,

Dedifferentiation and aberrations of the endolysosomal compartment characterize the early stage of nephropathic cystinosis [PDF]
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 dysfunction that progresses, if untreated, to end-stage renal
