The predicted truncated TIN2 proteins contain most of the N-terminal TRF homology (TRFH) domain of TIN2 where TRF2 and TPP1 bind and lack the TRF1-binding site and the short patch of amino acids mutated in dyskeratosis congenita (DC patch Savage et al., 2008; Walne et al., 2008; Figure 2D,E). This evidence concerns the gene TINF2 and dyskeratosis congenita.
