Infantile nephropatic cystinosis is a rare, recessive, and genetically homogeneous disorder impairing renal function. It is caused by mutations in CTNS. Several large copy number aberrations have been identified but, for the majority of these, heterozygous patients and carriers can not easily be identified. We therefore developed a multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification assay targeting eight of the...
