Background Telomere dysfunction is associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and
worse outcomes following lung transplantation. Telomere dysfunction may impair immunity …

Background Most idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) lung transplant recipients (IPF-LTRs)
have short telomere (ST) length. Inherited mutations in telomere-related genes are …

Background Prior studies have shown that patients with pulmonary fibrosis with mutations in
the telomerase genes have a high rate of certain complications after lung transplantation …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis lung transplant recipients (IPF-LTRs) are enriched for short
telomere length (TL) and telomere gene rare variants. A subset of patients with …

Background Patients with short telomere syndromes and pulmonary fibrosis have increased
complications after lung transplant. However, the more general impact of donor and …

Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common indication for lung
transplantation in North America and variants in telomere-maintenance genes are the most …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common subtype of interstitial lung disease
(ILD) and disproportionately affects older adults. 1 The pathogenesis of IPF in some patients …

Rationale: Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-related morbidities remain one of the most common
complications after lung transplantation and have been linked to allograft dysfunction, but …

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a major risk factor for chronic lung allograft dysfunction
(CLAD) following lung transplantation, but the mechanisms linking these pathologies are …

Introduction Patients with short telomere‐related interstitial lung disease (ILD) have worse
outcomes after lung transplantation. We hypothesized that post‐transplant airway …
