Cystinosis
MONDO:0016239Cystinosis is a metabolic disease characterized by an accumulation of cystine inside the lysosomes, causing damage in different organs and tissues, particularly in the kidneys and eyes. Three clinical forms have been described: nephropathic infantile, nephropathic juvenile and ocular.
Also known as: Protein defect of cystin transport, cystine storage disease, cystinosis, Cystinoses, cystine diathesis, cystine disease
