MMEJ repair of breaks at TA repeats maintains ecDNA and cancer fitness
Stability of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) relies on microhomology-mediated end joining at fragile TA-rich sites, with FANCM suppressing break formation, suggesting that Polθ disruption may destabilize ecDNA and sensitize ecDNA-driven tumours to therapeutic intervention.
