摘要: Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a rare bone marrow failure syndrome that displays marked clinical and genetic heterogeneity. The identification of dyskeratosis gene 1 (DKC1) mutations in X-linked recessive patients initially suggested DC defective pseudouridylation disorder. subsequent the telomerase RNA component (TERC) autosomal dominant together with discovery both TERC DKC1-encoded protein, dyskerin, are closely associated complex have pathophysiology predominantly relates to telomere maintenance. Recent discoveries shown exhibits disease anticipation this progressive shortening owing haplo-insufficiency TERC.
