Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDGermline mutations in telomerase and other telomere maintenance genes manifest in the premature aging short telomere syndromes. Myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) account for 75% of associated malignancies, but how these cancers overcome the inherited telomere defect is unknown.METHODSWe used ultra-deep targeted sequencing to detect somatic reversion mutations in 17 candidate...
