This study investigated the phenotypes, clinical courses, and genetic analyses of 10 Korean patients with cystinuria. The study identified six new mutations and found that compound heterozygous type A was the most common genotype among the patients.
Cystinuria is a known genetic disorder. To date, two genes, SLC3A1 and SLC7A9, have been identified as causes of cystinuria. In this study of 10 patients with cystinuria, which is the largest Korean cohort ever studied, we examined the patients' phenotypes, clinical courses, and genetic analyses. A total of 10 patients with cystinuria diagnosed with cystine stones in a single tertiary medical center (Severance Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea) from April 2000 to July 2023 were included in the study. All of the patients participated in mutational studies, and the clinical presentation and consecutive laboratory findings of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. After the initial stone-related surgery or procedure at our hospital, 6 of the 10 patients underwent additional surgery at least once for recurrent stones. Genetic analyses identified six new mutations, of which only two patients had type B mutations. The most common genotype was compound heterozygous type A. We investigated the genotypes and clinical courses of 10 Korean patients with cystinuria who had not been previously reported. More data are needed to statistically analyze the genotype and phenotype of cystinuria.
