Mutations in CSA and CSB proteins cause Cockayne syndrome, a rare genetic neurodevelopment disorder. Alongside their demonstrated roles in DNA repair and transcription, these two proteins have recently been discovered to regulate cytokinesis, the final ...

A semi-automated non-radiactive system for measuring recovery of RNA synthesis and unscheduled DNA synthesis using ethynyluracil derivatives [PDF]
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) removes the major UV-photolesions from cellular DNA. In humans, compromised NER activity is the cause of several photosensitive diseases, one of which is the skin-cancer predisposition disorder, xeroderma pigmentosum (XP).

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 ...

Adverse Effects of Trichothiodystrophy DNA Repair and Transcription Gene Abnormalities on Human Fetal Development [PDF]
The effects of DNA repair and transcription genes in human prenatal life have never been studied. Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a rare (affected frequency of 10^-6^) recessive disorder caused by mutations in genes involved in the nucleotide excision ...

Anti-tumour compounds illudin S and Irofulven induce DNA lesions ignored by global repair and exclusively processed by transcription- and replication-coupled repair pathways. [PDF]
Illudin S is a natural sesquiterpene drug with strong anti-tumour activity. Inside cells, unstable active metabolites of illudin cause the formation of as yet poorly characterised DNA lesions.

DNA repair, DNA replication and human disorders: A personal journey [PDF]
I was born in 1946 and grew up in the industrial north-west of England close to the city of Manchester. My parents were German- Jewish refugees, who left Germany fairly early, in 1933.

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.

Genome-wide search for strabismus susceptibility loci. [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to search for chromosomal susceptibility loci for comitant strabismus. Genomic DNA was isolated from 10mL blood taken from each member of 30 nuclear families in which 2 or more siblings are affected by either esotropia or ...
