Telomere biology disorders (TBDs) are a group of rare diseases caused by mutations that impair telomere maintenance. Mutations that cause reduced levels of TERC/hTR, the telomerase RNA component, are found in most TBD patients and include loss of function mutations in hTR itself, hTR binding proteins (NOP10, NHP2, NAF1, ZCCHC8 and DKC1), and proteins required for hTR processing (PARN). These patients show diverse clinical presentation that most commonly include bone marrow failure/aplastic anemia, pulmonary fibrosis and liver cirrhosis. There are no curative therapies for patients suffering with TBDs. An understanding of hTR biogenesis, maturation and degradation has identified pathways and pharmacological agents targeting the poly(A) polymerase PAPD5, which adds 3’ oligoadenosine tails to hTR promoting hTR degradation, and TGS1, which modifies the 5’ cap structure of hTR to enhance degradation, as possible therapeutic approaches. Critical next steps are clinical trials aimed at establishing the effectiveness and potential side effects of these compounds in TBD patients.
