Abstract excerpt
Cystinuria is an inherited transport disorder characterized by defective renal resorption of cystine and other dibasic amino acids. We have studied the occurrence of mutations in the SLC3A1 gene, which codes for a dibasic amino acid transporter-like protein, in 33 unrelated cystinurics. We found mutations in 34 of the 66 chromosomes studied. There were 14 different mutations in our study population, 8 of which...
