Department of Ophthalmology, University of Tsukuba, Japan.

A 30-year-old female patient was presumed to have adolescent cystinosis because of the onset of glomerular nephritis in her twenties, and the absence of retardation of somatic growth, rickets, or retinopathy. Specular microscopy revealed fine needle-shaped and/or rectangular crystals in the corneal stroma. The crystals were birefringent hexagonal and/or rectangular in the conjunctival tissue. The cystine contents of conjunctival biopsies in the patient were 8.6-11.0 nmol/ml (assayed by high performance liquid chromatography.

D003553 Cystine A covalently linked dimeric nonessential amino acid formed by the oxidation of CYSTEINE. Two molecules of cysteine are joined together by a disulfide bridge to form cystine. Copper Cystinate,L-Cystine,L Cystine
D003554 Cystinosis A metabolic disease characterized by the defective transport of CYSTINE across the lysosomal membrane due to mutation of a membrane protein cystinosin. This results in cystine accumulation and crystallization in the cells causing widespread tissue damage. In the KIDNEY, nephropathic cystinosis is a common cause of RENAL FANCONI SYNDROME.
