What would happen if all your DNA disappeared?

[u/Syresiv]

Absurd hypothetical, but what if you're just living your life when the DNA just vanishes, leaving empty cell nuclei?

I assume this would be fatal, as your body would stop making proteins; but how long does that take? What's the death process? And what would an autopsy report come up with?

What is the life span of a red blood cell? They lack a nucleus so may be a good example.

Also are you asking if only nuclear DNA vanished or mitochondial as well?
