Pulmonary fibrosis in non-mutation carriers of families with short telomere syndrome gene mutations.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Diagnostic and predictive genetic testing for disease cause and risk estimation is common in many countries. For genetic diseases, predictive test results are commonly straightforward: presence of the mutation involves increased risk for disease and absence of the mutation involves no inherit risk for disease. Germline mutations in telomere-related genes (TRGs) can lead to telomere...
