Xeroderma Pigmentosum: Clinical and Genetic Features and Therapeutic Approaches
Xeroderma pigmentosum is rare genetic disorder characterized by increased skin sensitivity to damaging ultraviolet (UV) light. First symptoms manifest at early age in most cases (up to 75%).

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).

My son Alex was diagnosed with xeroderma pigmentosum at the age of 4 years. He was born in Germany and lived there for the first two years of his life. Before the diagnosis, he had had a series of severe sunburns, the first at the age of 7 weeks through a car window, and then the worst when he was 11 months old on a winter holiday in Austria.

Xeroderma pigmentosum: a case report and review of the literature [PDF]
Inherited molecular defects in nucleotide excision repair genes cause the autosomal recessive condition xeroderma pigmentosum. Xeroderma pigmentosum is characterized by photo-hyper- sensitivity of sun-exposed tissues, and by a several thousand-fold ...

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).
