Preferred Label : Xeroderma pigmentosum, variant type;

Description : Xeroderma pigmentosum is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased sensitivity to sunlight and defects in DNA repair. For a general overview of the disorder, see XPA (278700). Some patients with xeroderma pigmentosum have been found to have normal DNA excision repair, but defective postreplication repair (Lehman et al., 1975). This XP 'variant' class is characterized by a defect in conversion of newly synthesized DNA from low to high molecular weight after UV irradiation (Masutani et al., 1999). So-called 'pigmentary xerodermoid' is apparently identical to the XP variant, which is characterized by loss of a gene product that permits normal cells to replicate DNA without interruption at UV-damaged sites (Cleaver et al., 1980).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Prefixed ID : #278750;
