Abstract

Dyskeratosis congenita (DKC) is an inherited disease characterized by the triad of mucosal leukoplakia, abnormal skin pigmentation and nail dystrophy, and it usually appears between the ages of 5 and 10 yr. Reports show that 19.5% of DKC patients have short stature (1). A major complication of DKC is progressive development of pancytopenia and there is also an increased incidence of malignancies. The X-linked form accounts for the majority of cases and is caused by mutations in the DKC1 gene. We report a 9 yr old boy, who presented with the triad of DKC, a mutation in the DKC1 gene and short stature, who was treated with human recombinant growth hormone (hGH). This is the first report of a DKC patient treated with hGH. Copyright
