Abstract excerpt
Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT) encodes the telomerase reverse transcriptase enzyme and is the most frequently mutated gene in patients with telomeropathies. Heterozygous variants impair telomerase activity by haploinsufficiency and pathogenic variants are associated with bone marrow failure syndrome and predisposition to acute myeloid leukaemia. Owing to their rarity, telomeropathies are often...
