Abstract
Nephropathic cystinosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder in which intracellular cystine accumulates. It is caused by mutations in the CTNS gene. Clinical manifestations include renal tubular Fanconi syndrome in the first year of life, rickets, hypokalaemia, polyuria, dehydration and acidosis, growth retardation, hypothyroidism, photophobia and renal glomerular deterioration. Late complications include myopathy, pancreatic insufficiency and retinal blindness. Skeletal manifestations described in these patients include failure to thrive, osteomalacia, rickets and short stature. This paper describes progressive bony abnormalities in three unrelated patients with nephropathic cystinosis that have not been reported previously.
