Elevated levels of TRF2 induce telomeric ultrafine anaphase bridges and rapid telomere deletions

The shelterin protein TRF2 is essential for chromosome-end protection. Depletion of TRF2 causes chromosome end-to-end fusions, initiating genomic instability that can be cancer promoting. Paradoxically, significant increased levels of TRF2 are observed in a subset of human cancers. Experimental over...
