Mutations in the TERT gene reduce or eliminate the function of telomerase, which allows telomeres to become abnormally short as cells divide. The shortened telomeres likely trigger cells that divide rapidly, such as cells that line the inside of the lungs, to stop dividing or to die prematurely.utations in the TERT gene reduce or eliminate the function of telomerase, which allows telomeres to become abnormally short as cells divide.
