1 Current therapy decreases cystine accumulation, thus slowing organ deterioration without reversing renal Fanconi syndrome or preventing eventual need for a kidney transplant.15-20% of cystinosis patients harbour at least one nonsense mutation in CTNS, leading to premature end of translation of the transcript. Cystine cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter Homo sapiens
2 CONCLUSIONS: ELX-02 has translational read-through activity and produces a functional CTNS protein, as evidenced by reduced cystine accumulation. Cystine cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter Homo sapiens
