Telomere Diseases
Open accessAbstract
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2009 was recently awarded to three scientists for their work on telomeres, which are repetitive DNA structures at the tips of chromosomes, and the enzyme telomerase. Telomeres protect the genome from loss of genetic material. This review recounts the medical implications of telomeres and focuses on a group of diseases in which the loss of telomeres appears to be causal.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
