| 13 | Novel TINF2 gene mutation in dyskeratosis congenita with extremely short telomeres:A case report显示文摘BACKGROUND Dyskeratosis congenita is a rare disease characterized by bone marrow failure and a clinical triad of oral leukoplakia,nail dystrophy,and abnormal skin pigmentation.The genetics of dyskeratosis congenita include mutations in genes involved in telomere maintenance,including TINF2.CASE SUMMARY Here,we report a female patient who presented thrombocytopenia,anemia,reticulate hyperpigmentation,dystrophy in fingernails and toenails,and leukoplakia on the tongue.A histopathological study of the skin showed dyskeratocytes;however,a bone marrow biopsy revealed normal cell morphology.The patient was diagnosed with dyskeratosis congenita,but her family history did not reveal significant antecedents.Whole-exome sequencing showed a novel heterozygous punctual mutation in exon 6 from the TINF2 gene,namely,NM_001099274.1:-c.854delp.(Val285-Alafs*32).An analysis of telomere length showed short telomeres relative to the patient’s age.CONCLUSION The disease in this patient was caused by a germline novel mutation of TINF2 in one of her parents. | Verónica Judith Picos-Cárdenas Saúl Armando Beltrán-Ontiveros JoséAlfonso Cruz-Ramos JoséAlfredo Contreras-Gutiérrez Eliakym Arámbula-Meraz Carla Angulo-Rojo Alma Marlene Guadrón-Llanos Emir Adolfo Leal-León Dora María Cedano-Prieto Juan Pablo Meza-Espinoza | 2022 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2022，10，33： | 0 |
