Dyskeratosis Congenita
- Telomere syndromes
Disorders of short telomeres caused by variants in telomere-maintenance genes such as TERT, TERC, RTEL1 and PARN, which can cause bone marrow failure, lung fibrosis and liver disease even without classic skin signs.
- ClinGen rates the link moderate
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Monitoring of blood counts, lungs and liver is advised, and the diagnosis informs donor selection and treatment choices for stem cell transplantation.
How CDCA7 is laid out
- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
- Stretches short reads find hard
Exons of the gene's MANE Select transcript (release v1.5), from NCBI and EMBL-EBI, on the GRCh38 reference genome.
Chromosome bands from UCSC's GRCh38 ideogram (2022-10-29).
Nearby genes from Ensembl release 116, on GRCh38.
Exons make up 2.8 kb of the gene's 14.1 kb; 1,353 of those bases code for the protein.
