Description : Xeroderma pigmentosum is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by sun sensitivity
and increased skin sensitivity to UV light, as well as an increased risk of skin cancer
associated with a defect in nucleotide excision repair (NER). The XPF form of XP is
usually relatively mild compared to other forms. Patients with XPF tend to have later
onset of skin cancer. Some patients with XPF may develop neurologic impairment or
growth defects, and are then classified as having Cockayne syndrome (summary by Kashiyama
et al., 2013). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity
of xeroderma pigmentosa, see XPA (278700), and of Cockayne syndrome, see CSA (216400).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the excision-repair cross-complementing group 4 gene (ERCC4,
133520.0001);
Neoplasia : Skin cancer susceptibility;
Laboratory abnormalities : Patient cells show defective transcription-coupled and global genome nucleotide excision
repair (NER);
