| 615190 | OMIM | Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal recessive, 5 (DKCB5) | A form of dyskeratosis congenita, a rare multisystem disorder caused by defective telomere maintenance. It is characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, and the clinical triad of reticulated skin hyperpigmentation, nail dystrophy, and mucosal leukoplakia. Common but variable features include premature graying, aplastic anemia, low platelets, osteoporosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and liver fibrosis among others. Early mortality is often associated with bone marrow failure, infections, fatal pulmonary complications, or malignancy. DKCB5 is characterized by onset of bone marrow failure and immunodeficiency in early childhood. Most patients also have growth and developmental delay and cerebellar hypoplasia, consistent with a clinical diagnosis of Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. RTEL1 mutations have also been found in patients with a dyskeratosis congenita-like phenotype consisting of one feature of dyskeratosis congenita and short telomeres, in the absence of the typical DKC diagnostic triad (PubMed:23329068). |

| 616373 | OMIM | Pulmonary fibrosis, and/or bone marrow failure, telomere-related, 3 (PFBMFT3) | A disease associated with shortened telomeres. Pulmonary fibrosis is the most common manifestation. Other manifestations include aplastic anemia due to bone marrow failure, hepatic fibrosis, and increased cancer risk, particularly myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia. Phenotype, age at onset, and severity are determined by telomere length. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
