Abstract
A simple method for the biochemical diagnosis of cystinosis involves incubating leukocytes from a small volume of blood with 35S-cystine. Non-protein 35S-labelled compounds are then extracted from the leucocytes and separated by thin-layer chromatography. The excessive incorporation of 35S-cystine into the increased cystine pool of cystine cells is easily detected in autoradiographs of the chromatograms.
