Neurological defects in trichothiodystrophy reveal a coactivator function of TFIIH.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the XPD subunit of the DNA repair/transcription factor TFIIH yield the rare genetic disorder trichothiodystrophy (TTD). Although this syndrome was initially associated with a DNA repair defect, individuals with TTD develop neurological features, such as microcephaly and hypomyelination that could be connected to transcriptional defects. Here we show that an XPD mutation in TTD mice results in a...
