Cystinosis: the past, present and future

Cystinosis is a rare hereditary disease that affects multiple organs, of which the kidneys and eyes are affected first. In conversation with Irene Kinds from the Cystinosis Patient Organisation Vlaanderen and The Netherlands, and mother of a 16-year-old living with cystinosis, we discuss what daily life with the disease looks like, why early diagnosis and adherence to therapy matter, and how new treatments could change the future for patients worldwide.
