Abstract excerpt
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) involves a defect in the initial step of nucleotide excision repair (NER) and consists of eight genetic complementation groups (groups A-G and a variant). XP group A (XPA) patients have a high incidence of UV-induced skin tumors, immature testicular development, and neurological symptoms. In an earlier study, we have shown that XP group A (Xpa) gene-knockout mice (Xpa-/- mice) were...
