Analysis of Skin Cancers from Xeroderma Pigmentosum Patients Reveals Heterogeneous UV-Induced Mutational Profiles Shaped by DNA Repair
2022-10-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in genes of the Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) pathway (groups A-G) or in Translesion Synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerase η (V). XP is associated with an increased skin cancer risk, reaching, for some groups, several thousand-fold compared to the general population. Here, we analyzed 38 skin cancer genomes from five XP groups. We...
