Genetic anticipation has been observed in some families with pulmonary fibrosis carrying monoallelic variants in several TBD-causing genes including TERC, TERT, PARN, RTEL1 and POT1 (refs.100,187,188,189,190,191,192
Important citations to study how TERC relates to genetic anticipation (inheriting not only TBD genes but short telomeres to begin with, leading to earlier onset)
