Ventricular noncompaction in a female patient with nephropathic cystinosis: a case report
INTRODUCTION We report an unusual and interesting case of a 24-year-old woman with nephropathic cystinosis in association with concomitant isolated noncompaction of the left ventricle. Left ventricular noncompaction usually presents with reduced exercise tolerance as a consequence of ventricular dysfunction, the result of embolus or with palpitations and syncope due to arrhythmia. There is no s...

متن کاملAn Indian boy with nephropathic cystinosis: a case report and molecular analysis of CTNS mutation.
Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized by excessive accumulation of cystine within the lysosome. Cystinosis is caused by mutations in the lysosomal cystine transporter, cystinosin (CTNS). The CTNS gene consists of 12 exons and encodes for an integral lysosomal membrane protein with seven transmembrane domains. A majority of cystinotic patients are of E...
