Hydrogen peroxide induced genomic instability in nucleotide excision repair-deficient lymphoblastoid cells [PDF]
Copyright @ 2010 Gopalakrishnan et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.Background The Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) pathway specialises in UV-induced DNA damage repair. Inherited defects in the NER can predispose individuals to Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP).

Transcriptional changes in trichothiodystrophy cells [PDF]
Mutations in three of the genes encoding the XPB, XPD and TTDA components of transcription factor TFIIH can result in the clinical phenotype of trichothiodystrophy (TTD).

Functional and clinical relevance of novel mutations in a large cohort of patients with Cockayne syndrome [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare, autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterised by prenatal or postnatal growth failure, progressive neurological dysfunction, ocular and skeletal abnormalities and premature ageing.

Ophthalmic management of Cockayne's syndrome [PDF]
Cockayne's syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive condition which usually presents in early childhood, and is characterised by dwarfism, premature ageing, mental retardation and a typical facial appearance and body habitus. Retinal dystrophy, enophthalmos, strabismus, cataract, nystagmus and corneal opacities are associated ocular features.

UVSSA and USP7, a new couple in transcription-coupled DNA repair [PDF]
Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) specifically removes transcription-blocking lesions from our genome. Defects in this pathway are associated with two human disorders: Cockayne syndrome (CS) and UV-sensitive syndrome (UVSS ...

The ATRX splicing variant c.21-1G>A is asymptomatic
The ATRX variant c.21-1G>A was detected by an exome analysis of a patient with Cockayne syndrome without alpha thalassemia X-linked intellectual disability syndrome (ATR-XS). In addition, variants in ERCC6 were detected.

Swallowing in Cockayne Syndrome: A Case Report
AbstractThe case of a 20‐year‐old female with Cockayne syndrome, presenting with reduced intake of food, is described. At admission, her intake of food and her body weight were low. The patient’s food swallowing function was recorded by video fluorography and evaluated.

Cockayne syndrome: The developing phenotype
AbstractCockayne syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition comprising microcephaly, “cachectic dwarfism” and progressive neurological degeneration. We present a 21‐year‐old woman who was not diagnosed with Cockayne syndrome type I until she was 21 years old.
