title: Jeune syndrome associated with cystinuria: report of two sisters.
abstract: Jeune syndrome is generally lethal in the first months of life. Surviving patients develop progressive renal failure and hepatic fibrosis. We describe 2 sisters, aged 7 and 2 years, respectively, who had Jeune syndrome associated with cystinuria. To our knowledge, this is the first reported association of these 2 autosomal recessive disorders.
