Disease relevance of CARKL

  • Interestingly, both CTNS and CARKL are absent in nearly half of all cystinosis patients (i.e., those homozygous for the common deletion) [1].
 

High impact information on CARKL

  • However, the patients' CTNS promoter mutations have no effect on CARKL promoter activity [2].
 

Biological context of CARKL

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CARKL

  • In particular, sequence analysis detected the presence of a novel gene (CARKL) residing within the most common cystinosis-causing deletion [1].
