Should I Get Myself Checked For Dyskeratosis Congenita?
Hi,
when I was about 6 or 7 years old I got the diagnosis of dsyceratosis congenita as possible, but not for sure. I am 30 now. I haven't consulted a doctor as to this again, since now. I often feel unsure about it. Worry whether I do have it or not. And yet am afraid of knowing. What do you suggest?
Best regards,
Snk,mlla

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Hi, it would have affected you now severely if you had it.
2. However, there is a possibility that you could only be a carrier and you may have only mild features.
3. At present you need not worry about it.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
