Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the XPD subunit of TFIIH give rise to human genetic disorders initially defined as DNA repair syndromes. Nevertheless, xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) group D (XP-D) patients develop clinical features such as hypoplasia of the adipose tissue, implying a putative transcriptional defect. Knowing that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are implicated in lipid metabolism, we investigated the...
