Cystinosis is a very rare inherited lysosomal storage disease presenting in infancy (95% of cases) with severe kidney disease but subsequently involving multiple organs (eyes, thyroid, liver, diabetes, muscle deterioration).

• Lot 2 – one hub for adult and paediatric cystinosis services to cover the NHS England population in the Midlands and northern areas of East of England
