Cystinosis is a rare inherited disease occurring in about 1 in 200,000 births within
developed countries.
It occurs when the mechanism removing excess cystine (an amino acid)
breaks down. In the past, it was rare for Cystinotics to survive into adulthood.
However, with better understanding and earlier diagnosis, it is possible for sufferers to lead a longer, fuller life. It is the Foundation's aim to aid researchers and sufferers to achieve this. |
