We studied patients carefully selected for familial, early-onset, or undiagnosed nephropathy; DiscovEHR assessed a general population recruited from a local health care system. Differences in patient ascertainment and phenotyping may therefore account for the seemingly discrepant findings. Moreover, distinguishing between phenotypic expansion for a known genetic disorder and discovery of a new human disease gene is important in assessing gene–disease associations. Heterozygous mutations in PARN cause dominant telomeropathy (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man 616371); this phenotype is characterized by multiorgan fibrosis, including that involving the lungs, bone marrow, and liver (1–4). We report TIN as a...
