Short telomere syndromes (STSs) are the most common premature aging disorders; mutations in telomerase and other telomere maintenance genes underlie their etiology.(1) Their biology is defined by short telomere length which provokes senescence and apoptosis, leading to organ failure. The majority of STSs are autosomal dominant, but X-linked, de novo, and recessive forms exist. Mutations in 14 genes are identifiable in 70%-80% of STSs, with the mutant telomerase reverse transcriptase gene, TERT, accounting for nearly half the cases.(1) End-stage liver disease is the third most common degenerative complication after idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and aplastic anemia.(2) While aplastic anemia generally manifests in children and young adults, and IPF is adult-onset, liver disease presents in intermediate age groups. Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) on the other hand manifests in the vast majority of cases after the fourth decade.(1) Liver disease has 2 primary manifestations in STS. The first, noncirrhotic portal hypertension with hepatopulmonary syndrome (NCPH-HPS), is usually diagnosed in children/younger adults and often in association with nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH).(2) HPS is the predominant manifestation in this subset of patients while other complications of portal hypertension are rare.(2) The second is cryptogenic cirrhosis (with or without HPS), present in older adults preceding or co-occurring with IPF.(3) The optimal management of liver disease, especially in the presence of these syndromic comorbidities, remains unclear. Recent success of reduced intensity hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) regimens for aplastic anemia has uncovered the natural history of STS with nearly all HSCT survivors developing HPS. However, the role of liver transplantation (LT) in these patients remains unknown, especially given the pulmonary vulnerability and potential for exacerbation of parenchymal PF, as well as increased relative risk of squamous cancers and myelodysplastic syndromes.(4) For patients requiring LT, finding suitable donors remains a challenge, given the low Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score at initial presentation. Patients with HPS are eligible for MELD exception points to improve access to transplantation; however, this is often in later stages of the disease, risking the sequelae of prolonged hypoxemia. To ensure timely LT for these patients, public health service (PHS)-designatedAbbreviations: AML, acute myeloid leukemia; AVN, avascular necrosis; CMV, cytomegalovirus; DAA, direct-acting antiviral; DDLT, diseased donor liver transplant; DKC1, dyskeratosis congenita 1 gene (X-linked); DLCO, diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide; FISH, fluorescence in situ hybridization; HCV, hepatitis C virus; HPS, hepatopulmonary syndrome; HSCT, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; IPF, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; IST, immunosuppressive therapy; MELD, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease; MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome; NAT, nucleic acid test; NCPH, noncirrhotic portal hypertension; NRH, nodular regenerative hyperplasia; PF, pulmonary fibrosis; PHS, public health service; STS, short telomere syndrome; SVR, sustained virological response; TERT, telomerase reverse transcriptase gene.
