The limitations of qPCR telomere length measurement in diagnosing dyskeratosis congenita

Abstract

Telomere length <1st percentile‐for‐age in leukocyte subsets by flow cytometry with fluorescence in situ hybridization (flow FISH) is highly sensitive and specific in diagnosing patients with dyskeratosis congenita (DC), a telomere biology disorder.
