Article Synopsis
- Telomere biology disorders (TBD) are inherited conditions linked to short telomeres, with dyskeratosis congenita (DC) being a severe phenotype characterized by various physical symptoms.
- A case study details a 2-year-old girl with specific symptoms (reticulated pigmentary changes and Terry's nails) who was found to have a TERT gene variant and short telomeres, but did not show the full range of TBD features.
- The report emphasizes the need for awareness and diagnosis of TBD, even in patients who exhibit only mild or limited symptoms of classic DC.
