G-quadruplex DNA drives genomic instability and represents a targetable molecular abnormality in ATRX-deficient malignant glioma

ATRX deficiency is linked to genomic stability in cancer cells. Here, the authors show that ATRX inactivation induces G-quadruplex formation, leading to genome-wide DNA damage, and the use of G-quadruplex stabilisers can be exploited therapeutically in ATRX deficient gliomas.
