Mutational signatures and increased retrotransposon insertions in Xeroderma Pigmentosum variant skin tumors
2022-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Xeroderma Pigmentosum variant (XP-V) is an autosomal recessive disease with an increased risk to develop cutaneous neoplasms in sunlight exposed regions. These cells are deficient in the translesion synthesis DNA polymerase eta. Eleven skin tumors from a genetic cluster of XP-V patients had their exome sequenced. Mutational signatures identified for most tumors were related to ultraviolet exposure, such as C>T tra...
