Fig. 5. Phenotypes of telomere biology disorders.

Fig. 5

The heterogenous presentation of telomere biology disorders manifestations may overlap and manifest at various time points or only following certain exposures or insults (e.g., radiation and immunosuppression as preconditioning regimens prior to bone marrow transplant may lead to pulmonary fibrosis in individuals who may have presented with isolated bone marrow failure). Regardless of clinical phenotype, patients are at increased risk of malignancies and disorders of premature aging. DC, dyskeratosis congenita; HHS, Hoyeraal–Hreidarsson Syndrome; ILD, interstitial lung disease; RS, Revesz Syndrome; TBD, telomere biology disorders.
