An Editorial Expression of Concern has been published by Nature regarding the article by Wong et al. concerning telomere dysfunction and Atm deficiency. The concern arises from identified image integrity issues, specifically a duplication in immunofluorescence images in Fig. 3e. As the raw data for the article are no longer accessible for verification due to the time elapsed since publication, readers are warned to interpret the findings with caution. Most authors agree with this concern, though one did not respond to publisher inquiries.
Nature is publishing an Editorial Expression of Concern on the article by Wong et al. to alert the readership that image integrity issues have been raised with some of the data.
In Fig. 3e there is an image duplication in the lower panel of the representative immunofluorescence images of G0 Terc Atm/ and G4 Terc/ Atm+/+.
Given the age of the paper, the raw data are no longer available for verification, prompting readers to be cautious when interpreting the data.
The authors agree with this Editorial Expression of Concern, although Robert M. Bachoo did not respond to correspondence from the Publisher.
