Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a rare, inheritable disorder characterized by a triad of abnormal skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy and mucosal leukoplakia. Inheritance is mainly X-linked recessive; however, autosomal dominant and recessive forms have also been reported. Here, we report two cases of DC with distinct clinical presentations together with different genetic screening results, which emphasize the quite heterogeneous clinical as well as genetic nature of DC.
先天性角化不良(DC)是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,其特征为皮肤色素沉着异常、指甲营养不良和黏膜白斑三联征。遗传方式主要为X连锁隐性遗传;不过,也有常染色体显性和隐性遗传形式的报道。在此,我们报告两例临床表现各异且基因筛查结果不同的DC病例,这凸显了DC在临床和基因方面的高度异质性。
