CTNS mutations in publicly-available human cystinosis cell lines

چکیده
Patient samples play an important role in the study of inherited metabolic disorders. Open-access biorepositories distribute such samples. Unfortunately, not all clinically-characterized samples come with reliable genotype information. During studies directed toward population frequency assessments of cystinosis, a rare heritable disorder, we sequenced the CTNS gene from 14 cystinosis-related samples obtained from the Coriell Cell Repository. As a result, the disease genotypes of 7 samples were determined for the first time. The reported disease genotypes of 2 additional samples were found to be incorrect. Furthermore, we identified and experimentally confirmed a novel mutation, c.225 + 5G > A, which causes skipping of the 5th exon and is associated with infantile nephropathic cystinosis.

Cystinosis: a review
Cystinosis is the most common hereditary cause of renal Fanconi syndrome in children. It is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the CTNS gene encoding for the carrier protein cystinosin, transporting cystine out of the lysosomal compartment. Defective cystinosin function leads to intra-lysosomal cystine accumulation in all body cells and organs. The kidneys ...
متن کاملFirst Report of CTNS Mutations in a Chinese Family with Infantile Cystinosis
Infantile cystinosis (IC) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a defect in the lysosomal-membrane transport protein, cystinosin. It serves as a prototype for lysosomal transport disorders. To date, several CTNS mutations have been identified as the cause of the prototypic disease across different ethnic populations worldwide. However, in Asia, the CTNS mutation is very rarely...
متن کاملStem Cell Microvesicles Transfer Cystinosin to Human Cystinotic Cells and Reduce Cystine Accumulation In Vitro
Cystinosis is a rare disease caused by homozygous mutations of the CTNS gene, encoding a cystine efflux channel in the lysosomal membrane. In Ctns knockout mice, the pathologic intralysosomal accumulation of cystine that drives progressive organ damage can be reversed by infusion of wildtype bone marrow-derived stem cells, but the mechanism involved is unclear since the exogeneous stem cells ar...
متن کاملMolecular pathogenesis of cystinosis: effect of CTNS mutations on the transport activity and subcellular localization of cystinosin.
Cystinosis is an inherited disorder characterized by defective lysosomal efflux of cystine. Three clinical forms (infantile, juvenile and ocular cystinosis) have been described according to the age of onset and severity of the symptoms. The causative gene, CTNS, encodes a seven transmembrane domain protein, cystinosin, which we recently identified as a H+-driven cystine transporter using an in ...
متن کاملGene transfer may be preventive but not curative for a lysosomal transport disorder.
Cystinosis belongs to a growing class of lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) caused by defective transmembrane proteins. The causative CTNS gene encodes the lysosomal cystine transporter, cystinosin. Currently the aminothiol cysteamine is the only drug available for reducing cystine storage but this treatment has non-negligible side effects and administration constraints. In this study, for the ...
