Question
Scenario 1: Dyskeratosis congenita (DKC) is a rare human genetic disorder affecting telomere replication. Mutations in the genes encoding telomerase enzymes result in telomeres with RNA subunits that do not read 3'-CAACCCCAAC-5'. DKC symptoms include bone marrow failure (reduced production of blood cells) and anemia. If symptoms are severe, a bone marrow transplant may be the only form of effective treatment.
