Advances in the understanding of dyskeratosis congenitaAmanda J Walne
Centre for Paediatrics, Institute of Cell and Molecular Science, Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, London, UK
Br J Haematol 145:164-72. 2009..They have also increased our understanding of normal haematopoiesis and provided new insights to the aetiology of some cases of aplastic anaemia and related haematological disorders...
TINF2 mutations result in very short telomeres: analysis of a large cohort of patients with dyskeratosis congenita and related bone marrow failure syndromesAmanda J Walne
Centre for Paediatrics, Institute of Cell and Molecular Science, Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, Barts and The London Children s Hospital, London, United Kingdom
Blood 112:3594-600. 2008..In this large series, TINF2 mutations account for approximately 11% of all DC, but they do not play a significant role in patients with related disorders. This study emphasises the role of defective telomere maintenance on human disease...
Genetic heterogeneity in autosomal recessive dyskeratosis congenita with one subtype due to mutations in the telomerase-associated protein NOP10Amanda J Walne
Academic Unit of Paediatrics, Institute of Cell and Molecular Science, Barts and The London, Queen Mary s School of Medicine and Dentistry, The Blizard Building, 4 Newark Street, London E1 2AT, UK
Hum Mol Genet 16:1619-29. 2007..This further strengthens the model that defective telomere maintenance is the primary pathology in DC and substantiates the evidence in humans for the involvement of NOP10 in the telomerase complex and telomere maintenance...
Dyskeratosis Congenita: a historical perspectiveAmanda J Walne
Academic Unit of Paediatrics, Institute of Cell and Molecular Science, Barts and The London, Queen Mary s School of Medicine and Dentistry, The Blizard Building, 4 Newark Street, London E1 2AT, UK
Mech Ageing Dev 129:48-59. 2008..Although this review is not intended to be an exhaustive citation of the literature available it does provide a summary of the key developments, citing particularly the earlier reports of each development...
Exome sequencing identifies autosomal-dominant SRP72 mutations associated with familial aplasia and myelodysplasiaMichael Kirwan
Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary, University of London, London, UK
Am J Hum Genet 90:888-92. 2012..These results suggest that inherited mutations in a component of the SRP have a role in the pathophysiology of AA/MDS, identifying a third pathway for developing these disorders alongside transcription factor and telomerase mutations...
Exogenous TERC alone can enhance proliferative potential, telomerase activity and telomere length in lymphocytes from dyskeratosis congenita patientsMichael Kirwan
Centre for Paediatrics, Institute of Cell and Molecular Science, Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, London, UK
Br J Haematol 144:771-81. 2009..This is the first study of its kind in DC lymphocytes and the first to demonstrate that transduction with TERC alone can improve cell survival and telomere length without the need for exogenous TERT...
Dyskeratosis congenita and the DNA damage responseMichael Kirwan
Centre for Paediatrics, Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, 4 Newark Street, London, UK
Br J Haematol 153:634-43. 2011..As the response to induced DNA damage was normal and levels of global DNA damage were inconsistent between cell types, DNA damage may contribute differently to the pathology in different tissues...
