        | Core Tip | Dyskeratosis congenita, characterized by a clinical triad of oral leukoplakia, nail dystrophy, and abnormal skin pigmentation, is a rare disease caused by mutations in genes governing telomere maintenance, including TINF2. We performed whole-exome sequencing in a female pediatric patient who presented with dyskeratosis congenita, and subsequently, a novel heterozygous mutation in exon 6 of the TINF2 gene was detected: NM_001099274.1:c.854delp.(Val285Alafs*32). An analysis of telomere length demonstrated short telomeres relative to the girl’s age. Patients with TINF2 mutations have more severe disease, so their detection is necessary to provide timely treatment. |
