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. During studies directed toward population frequency assessments of cystinosis, a rare heritable disorder, we sequenced the CTNS gene from 14 cystinosis-related s...
متن کاملGenetic basis of cystinosis in Tunisian patients: Identification of novel mutation in CTNS gene
Nephropathic cystinosis (NC) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by defective transport of cystine across the lysosomal membrane and resulting in renal, ophthalmic, and other organ abnormalities. Mutations in the CTNS gene cause a deficiency of the transport protein, cystinosin. This study was performed to investigate mutations of the CTNS gene in three Tunisian families with NC. P...
متن کاملInfantile Nephropathic Cystinosis: A Novel CTNS Mutation İnfantil Nefropatik Sistinozis: CTNS Geninde Yeni Bir Mutasyon
©Copyright 2017 by the Atatürk University School of Medicine Available online at www.eurasianjmed.com ABSTRACT 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. Infantile nephropathic cystinosis (INC) is one of the major complication...
متن کاملFirst 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, in Asia, the CTNS mutation is very rarely...
متن کاملCTNS molecular genetics profile in a Persian nephropathic cystinosis population.
PURPOSE In this report, we document the CTNS gene mutations of 28 Iranian patients with nephropathic cystinosis age 1-17 years. All presented initially with severe failure to thrive, polyuria, and polydipsia. METHODS Cystinosis was primarily diagnosed by a pediatric nephrologist and then referred to the Iran University of Medical Sciences genetics clinic for consultation and molecular analysi...
