MAKE US YOUR HOME PAGE Treating Cystinosis A rare genetic disorder, cystinosis can create a variety of physical problems for children, who may need the help of a PT. By Doris A. Trauner, MD Beth knew there was something wrong with 8-month-old Mark.* He wasn't growing, and he was always thirsty. Mark's pediatrician passed off Beth's observations as the anxious worries of a new mother. But Mark's failure to thrive continued to concern Beth, who took him to other doctors. Most were puzzled and couldn't explain what was wrong. Then one physician looked into the child's eyes and saw the telltale crystals. A series of tests confirmed her suspicion. Mark had infantile nephropathic cystinosis. Cystinosis is a genetic disorder in which the accumulation of the amino acid cystine leads to cell dysfunction, which can affect the neurologic and neuromuscular systems, and wreak havoc on various organs. Along with organ damage, cystinosis can create feeding and swallowing problems, gross and fine motor delays, learning disabilities, and late neuromuscular and cognitive deterioration. As rehab practitioners, you're ideally suited to help children overcome some of the problems. But you can't change the course of any late deterioration.

Protocol Number: 86-EI-0062 Title: Trial of Topical Cysteamine in the Treatment of Corneal Cystine Crystal Accumulation in Cystinosis Number: 86-EI-0062 Summary: This study will continue to evaluate the long term safety and effectiveness of cysteamine eye drops for treating cystine crystals in the corneas of patients with cystinosis. These drops are not sold commercially and are available only through this study. New patients may enroll in the study to obtain them. Cystinosis is an inherited disease that results in poor growth and kidney disease, among other things. The damage to the kidneys and other organs is thought to be due to accumulation of cystine inside the cells of various body tissues. This chemical also accumulates in the cornea-the covering of the eye over the pupil and iris. After 10 to 20 years, the corneas of some patients become so packed with crystals that the surfaces may become irregular, occasionally causing small, painful breaks. Patients enrolled in a NIH study on cystinosis are receiving the drug cysteamine. Taken by mouth, this drug reduces cystine in some tissues, but not in the cornea, perhaps because it does not reach the corneal cells. The current study was begun to test whether cysteamine eye drops could prevent or reduce corneal cystine crystals in these patients. The drops have been very effective in removing crystals and reducing pain in patients who take the medication as directed. Patients who do not take the medication as prescribed do not benefit.
