Abstract

Short telomere syndromes (STS) are the most common premature aging disorders; mutations in telomerase and other telomere maintenance genes underlie their etiology(1). Their biology is defined by short telomere length which provokes senescence and apoptosis, leading to organ failure. The majority of STS are autosomal dominant, but X-linked, de novo and recessive forms exist.
