Abstract excerpt
Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a rare, autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder most commonly caused by mutations in ERCC2 (XPD), a gene that encodes a subunit of the transcription/repair factor IIH (TFIIH). Here, we describe two TTD cases in which detailed biochemical and molecular investigations offered a clue to explain their moderately affected phenotype. Patient TTD22PV showed new mutated XPD alleles:...
