Telomeres in ICF syndrome cells are vulnerable to DNA damage due to elevated DNA:RNA hybrids

ICF syndrome cells exhibit shortened telomeres and elevated levels of the noncoding RNA TERRA. Here the authors show this is associated with high levels of DNA damage, suggesting an increase in telomere dysfunction due to the formation of DNA: RNA hybrids
