Preferred Label : Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal recessive 3;
Symbol : DKCB3;
CISMeF acronym : DKCB3;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Dyskeratosis congenita is a genetic disorder of defective tissue maintenance, impaired
stem cell function, and cancer predisposition caused by short telomeres resulting
from a defect in telomerase. Clinical manifestations may be seen in the skin as leukoplakia,
nail dystrophy, and reticular pigmentation, in the bone marrow as pancytopenia, and
in the lung as pulmonary fibrosis, as well as in other tissues (summary by Zhong et
al., 2011). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of dyskeratosis congenita, see;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the WD repeat-containing protein antisense to TP53 gene (WRAP53,
612661.0001);
Neoplasia : Squamous cell carcinoma;
Laboratory abnormalities : Shortened telomeres;
Prefixed ID : #613988;
Origin ID : 613988;
