Abstract excerpt
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a sun-sensitive and cancer-prone genetic disorder consisting of seven genetically distinct complementation groups (groups A-G). XP group D (XP-D) is a heterogeneous group. Mutations in the XPD gene (XPD) can exhibit three distinct clinical phenotypes: XP, trichothiodystrophy (TTD), or XP combined with Cockayne syndrome. XPD protein is required for both nucleotide excision repair...
