Red cell disorders v0.172 DKC1 Zornitza Stark Marked gene: DKC1 as ready
Red cell disorders v0.172 DKC1 Zornitza Stark Gene: dkc1 has been classified as Red List (Low Evidence).
Red cell disorders v0.172 DKC1 Zornitza Stark Phenotypes for gene: DKC1 were changed from 305000 Dyskeratosis congenita, X-linked to Dyskeratosis congenita, X-linked 305000; Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson Syndrome
Red cell disorders v0.171 DKC1 Zornitza Stark Publications for gene: DKC1 were set to
Red cell disorders v0.170 DKC1 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Dyskeratosis congenita is classically defined by the triad of abnormal skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy, and leukoplakia of the oral mucosa. It is characterized by short telomeres. Progressive bone marrow failure occurs in over 80% of cases and is the main cause of early mortality. The phenotype is highly variable, and affected individuals may have multiple additional features, including pulmonary fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, premature hair loss and/or graying, osteoporosis, atresia of the lacrimal ducts, and learning difficulties. Males may have testicular atrophy. Predisposition to malignancy is an important feature.

Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome (HHS) refers to a clinically severe variant of DKC that is characterized by multisystem involvement and early onset in utero. Patients with HHS show intrauterine growth retardation, microcephaly, delayed development, and bone marrow failure resulting in immunodeficiency, cerebellar hypoplasia, and sometimes enteropathy. Death often occurs in childhood.

PMID: 25940403, at least 13 of the variants associated with dyskeratosis congenita were also reported to cause HHS: P10L, I38T, T66A, T67I, H68Q, H68Y, S121G, R158W, K314R, A353V, R378Q, A386T and IVS12+1, so NOT only variants in exon 11. Two mutations were only found in HH, T49M and S304N.; to: Pancytopaenia rather than a red cell disorder.
