Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by the intralysosomal accumulation of cystine, as a result of a defect in cystine transport across the lysosomal membrane. Three clinical forms have been described on the basis of severity of symptoms and age of onset: infantile cystinosis, characterized by renal proximal tubulopathy and progression to end-stage renal disease before 12 yr of age; juvenile form, with a markedly slower rate of progression; and adult form, with only ocular abnormalities.
