Abstract excerpt
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is mainly caused by mutations in the Cockayne syndrome group A or B (CSA or CSB) genes which are required for a sub-pathway of nucleotide excision repair entitled transcription coupled repair. Approximately 20% of the CS patients have mutations in CSA, which encodes a 44 kDa tryptophane (Trp, W) and aspartic acid (Asp, D) amino acids (WD) repeat protein. Up to now, nine different CSA...
