A novel splice variant of the DNA-PKcs gene is associated with clinical and cellular radiosensivity in a patient with xeroderma pigmentosum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Radiotherapy-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are critical cytotoxic lesions. Inherited defects in DNA DSB repair pathways lead to hypersensitivity to ionising radiation, immunodeficiency and increased cancer incidence.

Transcription-associated breaks in Xeroderma Pigmentosum group D cells from patients with combined features of Xeroderma Pigmentosum and Cockayne Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Defects in the XPD gene can result in several clinical phenotypes, including xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), trichothiodystrophy, and, less frequently, the combined phenotype of XP and Cockayne syndrome (XP-D/CS).

Xeroderma Pigmentosum A Multidisciplinary Approach [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Medical Journal Dermatology, 2013
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder of DNA repair. Affected individuals are unable to repair ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced DNA damage, leading to a variety of clinical manifestations: a dramatic increase in ...
