Pseudouridylation defect due to and mutations causes nephrotic syndrome with cataracts, hearing impairment, and enterocolitis.

RNA modifications play a fundamental role in cellular function. Pseudouridylation, the most abundant RNA modification, is catalyzed by the H/ACA small ribonucleoprotein (snoRNP) complex that shares four core proteins, dyskerin (DKC1), NOP10, NHP2, and GAR1. Mutations in , , or cause dyskeratosis congenita (DC), a disorder characterized by telomere attrition.
