Telomerase RNA deficiency in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in X-linked dyskeratosis congenita.

Abstract excerpt

Compromised renewal and eventual failure of the hematopoietic system in dyskeratosis congenita (DC) have been proposed to arise from a deficiency in telomerase function. Previously, cultured cell lines from patients with X-linked DC were shown to accumulate less telomerase RNA than cell lines from unaffected family members. Here, we report that telomerase RNA deficiency is also present in the circulating...
