Abstract

Background: Nephropathic cystinosis (NC) is an uncommon autosomal recessive disease with abnormality in lysosomal storage that appearances in patients with mutations in the CTNS gene encoding a lysosomal transporter cystinosin. Disrupted function of this transporter is followed by accumulation of cysteine crystals in cells of many various organs. This study aimed to investigate the mutations of the CTNS gene in 20 Iranian patients suffering from NC. Materials and Methods: Twenty Iranian cystinosis patients referring to Imam Hossein Hospital of Isfahan were employed in this case-series study. After extraction of genomic DNA, the promoter and entire coding regions of CTNS were analysed using sanger sequencing in all patients. Gap–Polymerase Chain Reaction was used to detect 57 kb deletion in the CTNS gene. In silico study was performed to analyse variants. Results: The large deletion was not seen in any NC patients. Molecular analysis which conducted to screen the CTNS gene of patients, identified eight different mutations, including two new mutations, c. 971_972insC and c. 956_956delA, which have not been reported before, and c. 681G>A mutation, which was identified as a frequently founded mutation in the Middle East and was observed in 35% of patients. In this study, five other mutations including c. 1015G>A, c. 922G>A, c. 323_323delA, c. 433C>T, and c. 18_21delGACT were also observed, which have been reported in previous studies. Conclusion: The mutational spectrum in the Iranian patients is the same as previously reported mutations except that two new mutations were found. The present findings will present suggestions for regular molecular diagnosis of cystinosis in Iran.
