Cockayne Syndrome Patient iPSC-Derived Brain Organoids and Neurospheres Show Early Transcriptional Dysregulation of Biological Processes Associated with Brain Development and Metabolism [PDF]
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare hereditary autosomal recessive disorder primarily caused by mutations in Cockayne syndrome protein A (CSA) or B (CSB). While many of the functions of CSB have been at least partially elucidated, little is known about the ...

A mild case of Cockayne syndrome with a novel start-loss variant of ERCC8 [PDF]
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a progressive multisystem disorder characterized by growth failure, microcephaly, developmental delay, and photosensitivity. The characteristic symptoms appear during early childhood in most patients with CS. Herein, we report a

Immunity in the Progeroid Model of Cockayne Syndrome: Biomarkers of Pathological Aging [PDF]
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that affects the DNA repair process. It is a progeroid syndrome predisposing patients to accelerated aging and to increased susceptibility to respiratory infections.

Mitochondrial deficiency in Cockayne syndrome [PDF]
Cockayne syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by accelerated aging, cachectic dwarfism and many other features. Recent work has implicated mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of this disease. This is particularly interesting since mitochondrial deficiencies are believed to be important in the aging process.

Ending a diagnostic odyssey: Moving from exome to genome to identify cockayne syndrome [PDF]
Background Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth failure and multisystemic degeneration. Excision repair cross‐complementation group 6 (ERCC6 OMIM: *609413) is the gene most frequently mutated in CS ...
