About this trial
This European observational cohort follows patients with cystinosis, a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by CTNS mutations leading to cystine accumulation and multisystem involvement. It aims to describe the long-term clinical course under current treatments, focusing on renal and extra-renal complications, survival, and quality of life. It also evaluates treatment effects and explores biomarkers, including inflammatory markers, with biobanking for future research.
