  • Early occurrence of end-stage renal disease in a patient with infantile nephropathic cystinosis.

    Schnaper HW, Cottel J, Merrill S, Marcusson E, Kissane JM, Shackelford GD, So SK, Nelson RD, Cole BR, Smith ML. J Pediatr. 1992; 120 (4 Pt 1): 575-8

    We report the case of a patient with infantile nephropathic cystinosis who required renal transplantation at age 30 months. Exhaustive evaluation did not identify a cause of progressive renal failure other than cystinosis. The patient's genetic lesion was allelic with those of other patients with cystinosis; fusion of this patient's fibroblasts with fibroblasts from another patient with infantile nephropathic cystinosis did not demonstrate complementation of the biochemical defect.
