Ocular Findings in Cockayne Syndrome
The ocular findings in eight patients with Cockayne syndrome included enophthalmos, hyperopia, poor pupillary dilation, and retinal dystrophy in all patients. Four patients had strabismus. Two patients had cataracts. Three patients had nystagmus. Visual acuity was relatively well preserved in six patients, including a 25-year-old man with a visual ...

Hypomorphic PCNA mutation underlies a novel human DNA repair disorder [PDF]
A number of human disorders, including Cockayne syndrome, UV-sensitive syndrome, xeroderma pigmentosum and trichothiodystrophy, result from the mutation of genes encoding molecules important for nucleotide excision repair.

The influence of DNA repair on neurological degeneration, cachexia, skin cancer and internal neoplasms: autopsy report of four xeroderma pigmentosum patients (XP-A, XP-C and XP-D) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: To investigate the association of DNA nucleotide excision repair (NER) defects with neurological degeneration, cachexia and cancer, we performed autopsies on 4 adult xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients with different clinical features and ...

Phenotype variability of infantile-onset multisystem neurologic, endocrine, and pancreatic disease IMNEPD [PDF]
Infantile-onset multisystem neurologic, endocrine, and pancreatic disease (IMNEPD) has been recently linked to biallelic mutation of the peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase 2 gene PTRH2. Two index patients with IMNEPD in the original report had multiple neurological
