Clinical mutations in the TERT and TERC genes coding for telomerase components induced oxidative stress, DNAdamage at telomeres and cell apoptosis besides decreased telomerase activity

Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures at the end of chromosomes that maintain their integrity. Mutations in genes coding for proteins involved in telomere protection and elongation produce diseases such as dyskeratos is congenita oridiopathic pulmonary fibrosis known as telomeropathies. These disea...
