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 gene. Infantile nephropathic cystinosis (INC) is one of the major complications of cystinosis. It is characterized by findings of Fanconi's syndrome within the first year of life. Here we report two patients with INC presenting with signs of Fanconi's syndrome and describe a novel mutation.
胱氨酸贮积症是一种罕见的常染色体隐性代谢紊乱疾病,其特征是溶酶体中胱氨酸蓄积,这是由该基因编码的载体介导转运蛋白缺陷所致。婴儿型肾病性胱氨酸贮积症(INC)是胱氨酸贮积症的主要并发症之一。其特征为在出生后第一年内出现范科尼综合征的表现。在此,我们报告两名出现范科尼综合征体征的INC患者,并描述一种新的突变。
