What are the disorders associated with cystinosis?
Nephropathic cystinosis
Intermediate cystinosis
Ocular cystinosis
What is the most common and severe form under the disorders of cystinosis
Nephropatic cystinosis
This is a rare type of cystinosis with similar features as nephropatic cystinosis except that the onset of symptoms occurs in adolescence
Intermediate cystinosis
This is a milder form of cystinosis that manifests only ocular impairment and does not involve renal damage
Ocular cystinosus
This type of cystine disorder is an inherited autosomal renal tubular disorder characterized by decreased reabsorption pf cysteine and the dibasic amino acids
Cystinuria
Dibasic amino acids:
Lycine
Ornithine
Arginine
This is an inherited autosomal disease that involves a defect in the lysosomal membranes of cells
Cystinosis
This is an inherited disorder of methionine metabolism leading to sn abnormal accumulation of homocysteine and its metabolites
Homocystinuria
The most common form of Homocystinuria is characterized by:
Nearsightedness
Dislocation of the lens at the front of the eye
Increased risk of abnormal blood clotting
Brittle bine
Developmental delay and learning problems
What are under the branched chain amino acid disorder
Maple syrup urine disease
Organic acidemia
It is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease characterized by accumulation if branched chain amino acids
