Germline POT1 Deregulation Can Predispose to Myeloid Malignancies in Childhood

Germline POT1 Deregulation Can Predispose to Myeloid Malignancies in Childhood

While the shelterin complex guards and coordinates the mechanism of telomere regulation, deregulation of this process is tightly linked to malignant transformation and cancer. Here, we present the novel finding of a germline stop-gain variant (p.Q199*) in the shelterin complex gene <i>POT1<...
