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...
