Abstract excerpt
The structure-specific ERCC1-XPF endonuclease plays a key role in DNA damage excision by nucleotide excision repair (NER) and interstrand crosslink repair. Mutations in this complex can either cause xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) or XP combined with Cockayne syndrome (XPCS-complex) or Fanconi anemia. However, most patients carry compound heterozygous mutations, which confounds the dissection of the phenotypic...
