Abstract excerpt
Infantile nephropathic cystinosis is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized biochemically by an abnormally high intracellular content of free cystine in different organs and tissues due to a transport defect of cystine through the lysosomal membrane. Affected children present with the Fanc...
