Clinical, biochemical and molecular characterization of cystinuria in a cohort of 12 patients.
[cystinuria]
Cystinuria
is
a
rare
autosomal
inherited
disorder
characterized
by
impaired
transport
of
cystine
and
dibasic
aminoacids
in
the
proximal
renal
tubule
.
Classically
,
cystinuria
is
classified
as
type
I
(
silent
heterozygotes
)
and
non-
type
I
(
heterozygotes
with
urinary
hyperexcretion
of
cystine
)
.
Molecularly
,
cystinuria
is
classified
as
type
A
(
mutations
on
SLC
3
A
1
gene
)
and
type
B
(
mutations
on
SLC
7
A
9
gene
)
.
The
goal
of
this
study
is
to
provide
a
comprehensive
clinical
,
biochemical
and
molecular
characterization
of
a
cohort
of
12
Portuguese
patients
affected
with
cystinuria
in
order
to
provide
insight
into
genotype-phenotype
correlations
.
We
describe
seven
type
I
and
five
non-
type
I
patients
.
Regarding
the
molecular
classification
,
seven
patients
were
type
A
and
five
were
type
B
.
In
SLC
3
A
1
gene
,
two
large
genomic
rearrangements
and
13
sequence
variants
,
including
four
new
variants

In
our
cohort
the
most
frequent
pathogenic
mutations
were
:
large
rearrangements

of
mutant
alleles
)
and
a

This

expands

spectrum
of
SLC

and
provides
guidance
in
the
clinical
implementation
of
molecular

in
routine
genetic
counseling
of
Portuguese
patients
affected
with
cystinuria
