The molecular basis of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) group A was studied and 3 nonsense mutations of the XP-A complementing gene (XPAC) were identified. One was a nucleotide transition altering the Arg-228 codon (CGA) to a nonsense codon (TGA). This transition creates a new cleavage site for the restriction endonuclease HphI. Of 21 unrelated Japanese XP-A patients examined, 1 (XP39OS) was a homozygote for this...
