Abstract excerpt
Cystinuria is a common inherited disorder of defective renal reabsorption of cystine and dibasic amino acids. Recently, 2 responsible genes have been identified: mutations in the SLC3AI gene encoding the glycoprotein rBAT cause cystinuria type I, while variants in the SLC7A9 gene have been demonstrated in non-type I cystinuria; its gene product b(0)+AT is the light chain of the renal cystine transport system...
