Abstract excerpt
Whilst biallelic variants in RTEL1 are an established cause of telomere biology disorder (TBD), the significance of heterozygous variants has been more challenging to establish. In this nationwide analysis, we describe 18 individuals with heterozygous pathogenic RTEL1 variants from seven families. All were identified during routine clinical genetic investigation for a variety of indications. Each family carried a...
