SMCHD1 Promotes ATM-dependent DNA Damage Signaling and Repair of Uncapped Telomeres

Aleksandra Vančevska, Wareed Ahmed, Verena Pfeiffer, Marianna Feretzaki, Simon J. Boulton, Joachim Lingner

This study shows SMCHD1 is required for ATM-dependent DNA damage signaling and repair of uncapped telomeres, with its depletion reducing telomere fusions in TRF2-depleted cells.
