Nephropathic Cystinosis

Assembled from catalogue records November 5, 2026

Nephropathic Cystinosis, as genome-wide studies have reported it: 25 positions from 1 study. Assembled by code from the GWAS Catalog's records and kept current as positions arrive; every figure is the studies' own.

What this condition connects to

Prevalence
Not taken from these records, which report study sizes rather than how common the condition is.
Inheritance
Polygenic in the records: 25 positions at genome-wide significance across 1 study, each common variant of small effect. Nothing here says how much of the condition is inherited.

Genome-wide studies have so far placed 25 positions on Nephropathic Cystinosis, from 1 study; the GWAS Catalog files the condition as "Nephropathic cystinosis". MyGeneLog's code assembles this page from those records and rebuilds it when a new position is reported — nothing here was written by hand, and nothing here goes beyond what the records say.

The studies, one by one

A study. The 25 positions on this page from it: rs1064795587 (CTNS), rs113994205 (CTNS), rs113994206 (CTNS), rs113994208 (CTNS), rs121908124 (CTNS), rs121908127 (CTNS), rs1327959008 (CTNS), rs1390032475 (CTNS), and 17 more.

Positions and mapped genes

The 25 positions lie in or near 1 gene: CTNS. A gene named here is the catalogue's mapped location for a position, not a mechanism; the studies are cited above so that a reader can go to them.

Reading this page

Association records say which positions differ, on average, between people with Nephropathic Cystinosis and people without. They do not describe the condition, say how common it is, or tell anyone what to do, so this page does not either. For a single position, open its variant page: it gives that study's record in fixed sentences, with ClinVar's where there is one.

Clinical detail

What is actually diagnosed and treated here

A genotype does not diagnose Nephropathic Cystinosis; a clinician does. No guideline uses the 25 variants on this page to predict it, screen for it or confirm it.

Its sources are association records, and association records carry no clinical guidance, so neither does this page. What a genome-wide study reports is a difference between groups of people, not a finding about any one person. Symptoms, tests and treatment are questions for a clinician.

Questions about Nephropathic Cystinosis

What is Nephropathic Cystinosis?

Nephropathic Cystinosis is the condition the GWAS Catalog files under "Nephropathic cystinosis". This page does not define it in its own words; it lists what genome-wide studies have reported: 25 positions from 1 study, with each study's sample and citation.

Is Nephropathic Cystinosis genetic?

Genome-wide studies have reported 25 associated positions. Each common variant has a small effect, and an association in a population is not a cause in any one person.

Which genes are linked to Nephropathic Cystinosis on this page?

The positions lie in or near 1 gene: CTNS. A mapped gene is the catalogue's location for a position, not a mechanism.

Can these variants predict whether I will get Nephropathic Cystinosis?

No. They are population-level findings of small effect. Nephropathic Cystinosis is diagnosed by a clinician, and no guideline uses a genotype to predict it.
