Bi-allelic MCM10 variants associated with immune dysfunction and cardiomyopathy cause telomere shortening

Bi-allelic MCM10 variants associated with immune dysfunction and cardiomyopathy cause telomere shortening

Minichromosome maintenance protein 10 (MCM10) is critical for eukaryotic DNA replication. Here, by modelling MCM10 variants in human cell lines, the authors reveal a mechanism of MCM10-associated disease, finding that loss of MCM10 function constrains telomerase activity.
