Dr Trisha Macnair Cystinosis is a rare, inherited disease estimated to affect about 2,000 people around the world (although its thought that many milder cases may go undiagnosed). Parents are unaware that they carry a genetic abnormality Three types of cystinosis Treatment targets symptoms as well as cause In cystinosis an amino acid called cystine accumulates in the cells, causing damage to organs such as the kidney, eye, muscle, pancreas and brain. Cystine is made by cells during metabolism. Normally the amino acid is carried out of the cell but in cystinosis the cystine cannot be transported out. Instead it builds up to 100 times the normal level inside a structure in the cell called the lysosome. Here it forms crystals which eventually destroy the cell. There are three types of cystinosis: Infantile cystinosis (also known as nephropathic cystinosis): The baby may appear normal at birth but problems arise with the first year or two of life.

Indications - Cystinosis
cystinosis belongs to the group of disorders known as inborn errors of metabolism. cystinosis is a disease affecting the metabolism of cystine.
http://www.orphan-europe.com/1038817007.html

Extractions: Cystinosis is a disease affecting the metabolism of cystine. Cystine is an amino acid. Amino acids are organic substances which when linked together form proteins which are major constituents of cells. Their breakdown takes place in special structures within body cells called lysosomes. Cystinosis occurs when the transport system of cystine out of the lysosomes fails, thus allowing it to accumulate within the cells. Cells loaded with cystine cannot work normally. The major organs that are usually first affected are the kidney and eyes.
Cystinosis
cystinosis is a rare inherited disorder characterized by the impaired transport of cystine out of parts of cells called lysosomes.

Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report Cystinosis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Cystinosis is a rare inherited disorder characterized by the impaired transport of cystine out of parts of cells called lysosomes. Cystine is an amino acid found in many different proteins in the body. Lysosomes, which are membrane bound particles within cells, aid in intracellular digestive function. Cystinosis is characterized by the accumulation of cystine in tissues throughout the body, which can cause certain organs to malfunction. Three distinct forms of Cystinosis are recognized. Infantile Nephropathic Cystinosis is the most severe form of the disease. Symptoms, including abnormal sensitivity to light and loss of color in the retina of the eyes, can appear as early as 6 to 12 months of age. If left untreated, this form of the disease may lead to kidney failure by 10 years of age. In people with Intermediate Cystinosis or Juvenile (Adolescent) Cystinosis, kidney and eye symptoms typically become apparent during the teenage years or early adulthood. In Benign or Adult Cystinosis, crystalline cystine accumulates primarily in the cornea of the eyes.

Extractions: Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) July 7, 2005 Sponsored by: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose This study will test the effectiveness of a combination of anti-rejection medicines in preventing complications typically seen in cystinosis patients undergoing kidney transplants. Cystinosis is a rare disease affecting children that causes growth retardation and kidney failure. Kidney transplant is the standard treatment for kidney failure in these patients, followed by immunosuppression to prevent organ rejection. The standard drug regimen for immunosuppression includes steroids, which can lead to other serious complications. This study will look at combination therapy that does not include steroids. Patients 7 years of age and older with cystinosis who are candidates for a kidney transplant at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center may be eligible for this 5-year study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, and blood tests.

Extractions: Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) April 14, 2005 Sponsored by: National Eye Institute (NEI) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose This study will continue to evaluate the long term safety and effectiveness of cysteamine eye drops for treating cystine crystals in the corneas of patients with cystinosis. These drops are not sold commercially and are available only through this study. New patients may enroll in the study to obtain them. Cystinosis is an inherited disease that results in poor growth and kidney disease, among other things. The damage to the kidneys and other organs is thought to be due to accumulation of cystine inside the cells of various body tissues. This chemical also accumulates in the cornea-the covering of the eye over the pupil and iris. After 10 to 20 years, the corneas of some patients become so packed with crystals that the surfaces may become irregular, occasionally causing small, painful breaks. Patients enrolled in a NIH study on cystinosis are receiving the drug cysteamine. Taken by mouth, this drug reduces cystine in some tissues, but not in the cornea, perhaps because it does not reach the corneal cells. The current study was begun to test whether cysteamine eye drops could prevent or reduce corneal cystine crystals in these patients. The drops have been very effective in removing crystals and reducing pain in patients who take the medication as directed. Patients who do not take the medication as prescribed do not benefit.
