Dyskeratosis Congenita, Autosomal Recessive 2; Dkcb2

Description

Dyskeratosis congenita is a multisystem disorder caused by defective telomere maintenance. Clinical manifestations include mucocutaneous abnormalities, bone marrow failure, and an increased predisposition to cancer, among other variable features (summary by Vulliamy et al., 2008).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of dyskeratosis congenita, see DKCA1 (OMIM ).
