Telomere wear and dysfunction may lead to aging-related diseases. Moreover, increasing evidence show that the occurrence, development, and prognosis of some pediatric diseases are also related to telomere dysfunction. In this review, we systematically analyzed the relationship between telomere biology and some pediatric congenital and growth-related diseases and proposed new theoretical basis and therapeutic targets for the treatment of these diseases.
端粒磨损和功能障碍可能导致与衰老相关的疾病。此外,越来越多的证据表明,一些儿科疾病的发生、发展和预后也与端粒功能障碍有关。在本综述中,我们系统地分析了端粒生物学与一些儿科先天性疾病和生长相关疾病之间的关系,并为这些疾病的治疗提出了新的理论基础和治疗靶点。
