Cockayne syndrome type A: novel mutations in eight typical patients.

Abstract excerpt

Cockayne syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder. It is considered to be a heterogeneous condition based on complementation in cell fusion studies, with two major forms, namely CS-A and CS-B. CKN1 is the gene responsible for CS-A, whose mutations disrupt the transcription-coupled repair system of the actively transcribed DNA. Mutation analysis of the CKN1 gene in eight typical CS-A...
