Size matters in telomere biology disorders ‒ expanding phenotypic spectrum in patients with long or short telomeres
The end of each chromosome consists of a DNA region termed the telomeres. The telomeres serve as a protective shield against degradation of the coding DNA sequence, as the DNA strand inevitably ‒ with each cell division ‒ is shortened. Inherited genetic variants cause telomere biology disorders when...
