0.200 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Patients with PF with disease-associated variants in TERT, RTEL1, or PARN had a significantly higher risk of death (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.82; 95% CI, 1.07-3.08; P = .03) and CLAD (adjusted HR, 2.88; 95% CI, 1.42-5.87; P = .004) than patients without these variants. 30978332 2019

Disease: Pulmonary Fibrosis
Pulmonary Fibrosis
0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE Our results suggest that TERT has a protective role in AECII, unlike its pro-fibrotic activity, observed previously in fibroblasts, indicating that TERT's role in pulmonary fibrosis is cell type-specific. 31000627 2019

Pulmonary Fibrosis
0.200 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Familial pulmonary fibrosis is associated with loss-of-function mutations in telomerase reverse transcriptase (<i>TERT</i>) and short telomeres. 29382801 2018

Pulmonary Fibrosis
0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE We evaluated the prevalence of TERT/TERC disease-associated variant (DAV), factors associated with a DAV, and the impact of the DAV on survival.237 patients with pulmonary fibrosis (153 with familial pulmonary fibrosis, 84 with telomere syndrome features without familial pulmonary fibrosis) were tested for TERT/TERC DAV. 27836952 2016

Pulmonary Fibrosis
0.200 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Heterozygous mutations in four telomere-related genes have been linked to pulmonary fibrosis, but little is known about similarities or differences of affected individuals.115 patients with mutations in telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) (n=75), telomerase RNA component (TERC) (n=7), regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 (RTEL1) (n=14) and poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) (n=19) were identified and clinical data were analysed.Approximately one-half (46%) had a multidisciplinary diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); others had unclassifiable lung fibrosis (20%), chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (12%), pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (10%), interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (7%), an idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (4%) and connective tissue disease-related interstitial fibrosis (3%). 27540018 2016
