Defective transcription-coupled repair in Cockayne syndrome B mice is associated with skin cancer predisposition. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
A mouse model for the nucleotide excision repair disorder Cockayne syndrome (CS) was generated by mimicking a truncation in the CSB(ERCC6) gene of a CS-B patient.

Paediatric Hypotrichosis: A Clinical and Algorithmic Approach to Diagnosis

open access: yesAustralasian Journal of Dermatology, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page e109-e119, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Paediatric hypotrichosis is the clinical feature of paucity of hair arising congenitally or in early life with the presentation being that of the child whose hair is growing insufficiently. It is a hallmark finding of a diverse group of genodermatoses and sporadic disorders, presenting as either an isolated symptom or in association with ...

Photocarcinogenesis of the skin: Current status and future trends

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 41, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Solar radiation is essential for life on Earth but is also a major contributor to skin carcinogenesis. Solar radiation, particularly ultraviolet (UV) B (280–320 nm) and UVA (320–400 nm), induces photocarcinogenesis via various pathways. UV light can directly cause DNA damage, resulting in genetic mutations if not repaired correctly.

431 Evaluating defective Transcription Coupled-Nucleotide Excision Repair as a mechanism for sensorineural hearing loss in a zebrafish model of Cockayne Syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Translational Science, 2023
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The characterization of the zebrafish as an animal model for Cockayne Syndrome may guide us towards role of Transcription-Coupled Nucleotide Excision Repair (TC-NER) defects in sensorineural hearing loss.

The Ercc1−/Δ mouse model of XFE progeroid syndrome undergoes accelerated retinal degeneration

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2025.
Spontaneous endogenous DNA damage drives key hallmarks of age‐related retinal degeneration, including visual impairment, photoreceptor cell loss, dysmorphic RPE, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular senescence. Therefore, Ercc1−/Δ mice represent a valuable model for further mechanistic studies on age‐related retinal degeneration and for rapid ...

Rat Model of Cockayne Syndrome Neurological Disease

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder, characterized by a deficiency in transcription-coupled subpathway of nucleotide excision DNA repair (TC-NER).

Trichothiodystrophy due to ERCC2 Variants: Uncommon Contributor to Progressive Hypomyelinating Leukodystrophy

open access: yesMolecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2025.
This study reports a novel case of trichothiodystrophy (TTD) linked to compound heterozygous ERCC2 variants, presenting with progressive cerebral hypomyelination. The findings highlight a rare association between ERCC2 mutations and hypomyelinating leukodystrophy, expanding the current understanding of TTD‐related neurodevelopmental disorders. ABSTRACT

Cockayne syndrome group A protein localizes at centrosomes during mitosis and regulates Cyclin B1 ubiquitination

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cell Biology, 2023
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 ...
