Aside from the ears though, the similarities are profound, whereas Mickey serves as the comic-everyman, the knockout mouse enjoys the dubious honour of being every man's (or woman's) genetic stand-in. Cystinosis, like Mickey Mouse, is known to all paediatric nephrologists, less so to those specializing in adults.
