TINF2

MIM.604319

Pathology

- germline mutations of TINF2 in

  • Revesz syndrome (MIM.
  • classical dyskeratosis congenita (DC)

NB: Patients with dyskeratosis congenita (DC), a heterogeneous inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, have abnormalities in telomere biology, including very short telomeres and germline mutations in DKC1, TERC, TERT, or NOP10, but approximately 60% of DC patients lack an identifiable mutation.
