Mutations in CTC1, Encoding Conserved Telomere Maintenance Component 1, Cause C...
Anderson, B; Kasher, P; Mayer, J; Szynkiewicz, M; Jenkinson, E; Bhaskar, S; Urquhart, J; Daly, S; Dickerson, J; O'Sullivan, J; Leibundgut, E; Muter, JCoats plus is a highly pleiotropic disorder particularly affecting the eye, brain, bone and gastrointestinal tract.

Consistent with the observation of shortened telomeres in an Arabidopsis CTC1 mutant and t...
