Since the number of patients with DC is small and the effect of genetic pathogenic variant may affect the phenotype, we wanted to present the clinical features and course of illness in a patient with NHP2 gene mutation (compound heterozygote for the NHP2 mutations c.376G>A/c.460T>A; amino acid substitutions: p.Val126Met and p.X154Arg) that occurred as a compound heterozygous state.
We found that the most prevalent dyskerin mutation in DC (A353V) did not affect formation of the NAF1-dyskerin-NOP10-NHP2 tetramer that normally assembles with nascent H/ACA RNAs in vivo.

Stable expression in yeast of the mature form of human telomerase RNA depends on its association with the box H/ACA small nucleolar RNP proteins Cbf5p, Nhp2p and Nop10p.
