Telomere lengths, pulmonary fibrosis and telomerase (TERT) mutations.

Telomere lengths, pulmonary fibrosis and telomerase (TERT) mutations.

Telomerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of nucleotides on the ends of chromosomes. Rare loss of function mutations in the gene that encodes the protein component of telomerase (TERT) have been described in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Here we examine the telomere le...
