Global-genome Nucleotide Excision Repair Controlled by Ubiquitin/Sumo Modifiers [PDF]
Global-genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) prevents genome instability by excising a wide range of structurally unrelated DNA base adducts and crosslinks induced by chemical carcinogens, ultraviolet (UV) radiation or intracellular metabolic by ...

Germline variants in CDKN2A wild‐type melanoma prone families
Among melanoma‐prone families, wild‐type for CDKN2A and CDK4, some have pathogenic variants in genes not usually linked to melanoma. Furthermore, rare XP‐related variants and variants in MC1R are enriched in such families. Germline pathogenic variants in CDKN2A are well established as an underlying cause of familial malignant melanoma. While pathogenic

Xeroderma Pigmentosum With Early And Rapid Development Of Malignancy
A case of xeroderma pigmentosum in a 9 year old developing multiple tumours over a short period of 6 months is reported. The tumours showed two different types of malignancies-squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma.

Photocarcinogenesis of the skin: Current status and future trends
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.

Xeroderma Pigmentosum – Facts and Perspectives [PDF]
Ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA lesions are almost exclusively removed by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, which is essential for prevention of skin cancer development. Patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) are extremely sun sensitive due to a genetic defect in components of the NER cascade.

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

Mouse model for the DNA repair/basal transcription disorder Trichothiodystrophy reveals cancer predisposition. [PDF]
Patients with the nucleotide excision repair (NER) disorder xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) are highly predisposed to develop sunlight-induced skin cancer, in remarkable contrast to photosensitive NER-deficient trichothiodystrophy (TTD) patients carrying ...

Xeroderma pigmentosum: A rare case report with review of literature
Xeroderma pigmentosum, or XP, is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder in which the ability to repair DNA damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) light is deficient. In extreme cases, all exposure to sunlight must be forbidden, no matter how small.
