Recognizing and Managing Telomere Biology Disorders

Telomere biology disorders are increasingly recognized as drivers of pulmonary fibrosis, bone marrow failure, liver disease, and other age-related conditions. In this episode of Respiratory Exchange, Dr. Daniel Culver is joined by Dr. Brian Southern and Dr. Hetty Carraway to explore the clinical clues, diagnostic testing, genetic implications, and multidisciplinary management of short telomere syndromes. They discuss who should be tested, the role of genetic screening, transplant considerations, and emerging research that is reshaping care for patients and families affected by these complex disorders.
