Evaluation of a screening protocol for telomere biology disorders in individuals with interstitial lung disease undergoing lung transplant evaluation
Lymphocyte and granulocyte TL <10th is common among TBD phenotype screen-positive ILD patients undergoing transplant evaluation. Inclusion of additional screening questions related to age of onset of ILD could improve the sensitivity of the protocol for short TL.
