Telomere Dysfunction in Pediatric Patients with Differences/Disorders of Sexual Development

20242 citationsOpen accessUniversité de Thiès

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to demonstrate a correlation between telomere dysfunction and DSDs. Further studies may reveal the link between telomere dysfunction and possible mechanisms involved in the disease itself, such as DNA repair deficiency or specific gene mutations. The present study demonstrates the relevance of implementing telomere analysis in prenatal tests as well as in diagnosed genetic DSD disorders.
