text: Depending on how much telomerase expression is affected by these mutations, the phenotypic consequences may range from none (neutral mutations) to pathology (deleterious mutations), with potentially intermediate positive or negative effects (e.g. via proliferative stem cell capacities to anti-ageing shielding of the soma) that may contribute to the natural variance in individual fitness.
