Studies with Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Reveal That CTNS Mutations Can Alter Renal Proximal Tubule Differentiation.

Abstract excerpt

Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive disease resulting from mutations in ctns, which encodes for cystinosin, a proton-coupled cystine transporter that exports cystine from lysosomes. The major clinical form, infantile cystinosis, is associated with renal failure due to the malfunctioning of the renal proximal tubule (RPT). To examine the hypothesis that the malfunctioning of the cystinotic RPT arises from...
