Rare Protein-Altering Telomere-related Gene Variants in Patients with Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
3 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Rationale Rare genetic variants in telomere-related genes have been identified in familial, idiopathic, and rheumatoid arthritis–associated pulmonary fibrosis. Short peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) telomere length predicts poor outcomes in chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP). Objectives Determine the prevalence and clinical relevance of rare protein-altering variants in telomere-related genes in...
