Abstract excerpt
Noncoding RNAs control critical cellular processes, although their contribution to disease remains largely unexplored. Dyskerin associates with hundreds of H/ACA small RNAs to generate a multitude of functionally distinct ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). The DKC1 gene, encoding dyskerin, is mutated in the multisystem disorder X-linked dyskeratosis congenita (X-DC). A central question is whether DKC1 mutations affect...
