Strange, I found a fair bit of stuff.
Cystinosis is the easiest way to find high blood cystine. More severe forms can cause kidney damage and that gets most of the press. True Cystinosis and excessive urination seem to be fairly well established stuff, the Boots website references it.
It did take me a while to plough through stuff - when I tried Cystine loads of Cysteine stuff came up.
Try looking for Cystinosis and Selenium. The urination causes the Selenium deficiency hence that's more likely to cause 'a hit'.
Hope that helps.
I just did an internet search for cystinosis and had a quick look at a few hits, which indicate that it is a very rare heridary disease, e.g. here.
