Core Tip	The pathogenesis of liver cirrhosis is not completely elucidated. Genetic predisposition may contribute to the development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Evidence supporting the role of genetic factors as a risk for cirrhosis and the concept of telomere shortening as a genetic risk factor for chronic liver disease and HCC has been proposed. Here we review the literature on telomerase mutations, telomere shortening and liver disease including hepatocellular carcinoma.
