Cystinosis is caused by mutations in the CTNS gene (17p13.2), which encodes for a lysosomal cystine/proton symporter termed cystinosin. It is the most common cause of inherited renal Fanconi syndrome in young children. Because of its rarity, the diagnosis and specific treatment of cystinosis are frequently delayed, which has a significant impact on the overall prognosis. In this document, we have summarized expert opinions on several aspects of the disease to improve knowledge and provide guidance for diagnosis and treatment.
胱氨酸贮积症由CTNS基因(17p13.2)突变引起,该基因编码一种名为胱氨酸转运体的溶酶体胱氨酸/质子同向转运体。它是幼儿遗传性范科尼综合征最常见的病因。由于其罕见性,胱氨酸贮积症的诊断和特异性治疗常常延迟,这对总体预后有重大影响。在本文件中,我们总结了关于该疾病几个方面的专家意见,以增进认识并为诊断和治疗提供指导。
