Dyskeratosis Congenita, Autosomal Dominant 6; Dkca6

Description

Dyskeratosis congenita is a multisystem disorder caused by defective telomere maintenance. Features are variable and include bone marrow failure, nail dysplasia, oral leukoplakia, and increased risk of cancer (summary by Kocak et al., 2014).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of dyskeratosis congenita, see DKCA1 (OMIM ).
