The present study examined academic skills in children and young adults with infantile nephropathic cystinosis. Cystinosis is a genetic metabolic disorder in which the amino acid cystine accumulates in various tissues and organs, including the kidney, cornea, thyroid, and brain. Individuals with cys
The autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder, nephropathic cystinosis is characterized by impaired transport of free cystine out of lysosomes. The gene responsible for cystinosis, CTNS, consists of 12 exons and encodes a 55 kDa putative lysosomal membrane protein, called cystinosin. Up to now
Deficiencies in either growth hormone (GH) or insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) are associated with reductions in bone size during growth in humans and animal models. Liver-specific IGF-1-deficient (LID) mice, which have 75% reductions in serum IGF-1, were created previously to separate the effec
