Dyskeratosis congenita.

Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS, 2003
Dyskeratosis congenita is an inherited skin and bone marrow failure syndrome. There are X-linked, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms of the disease. The X-linked form is due to mutations in the DKC1 gene at Xq28. The encoded protein, dyskerin, is a component of both small nucleolar ribonuclear protein particles and the telomerase complex.

Dyskeratosis congenita and telomerase

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2004
Dyskeratosis congenita, a rare condition characterized by mucocutaneous abnormalities and bone marrow failure, is caused by inherited defects in the telomerase complex. Autosomal dominant dyskeratosis congenita is associated with mutations in the RNA component of telomerase, hTERC, while X-linked dyskeratosis congenita is due to mutations in the gene ...
