Abstract excerpt
Although xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients are rare, carriers of XP genes (heterozygotes) are much more common. Whether such carriers have an increased skin cancer risk is unknown. Recently developed mouse models for XP have opened up the possibility of determining the skin cancer risk of heter...
