“…Cystinuria is a recessive hereditary disease (Dent and Harris, 1951;Harris and Warren, 1953;Harris, Mittwoch, Robson, and Warren, 1955a and b;Harris and Robson, 1955), such conditions usually involving a deficiency or absence of a single protein, which may be an enzyme. The biochemical defect in Hartnup disease (Baron, Dent, Harris, Hart, and Jepson, 1956;Milne, Crawford, Girao, and Loughridge, 1960), a comparable recessive hereditary condition, is a reduced ability to transport those amino-acids which are not involved in the transport defect of cystinuria.…”
