Shining a Light on Xeroderma Pigmentosum
Open accessAbstract
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder of DNA repair characterized by sun sensitivity and UV radiation-induced skin and mucous membrane cancers. Initially described in 1874 by Moriz Kaposi in Vienna, nearly 100 years later, James Cleaver in San Francisco reported defective DNA repair in XP cells. This eventually provided the basis for a mechanistic link between sun exposure, DNA damage, somatic mutations, and skin cancer. XP cells were found to have defects in seven of the proteins of the nucleotide excision repair pathway and in DNA polymerase η. XP cells are hypersensitive to killing by UV radiation, and XP cancers have characteristic "UV signature" mutations. Clinical studies at the National Institutes of Health found a nearly 10,000-fold increase in skin cancer in XP patients under the age of 20 years, demonstrating the substantial importance of DNA repair in cancer prevention in the general population. Approximately 25% of XP patients have progressive neurological degeneration with progressive loss of neurons, probably from DNA damage induced by oxidative metabolism, which kills nondividing cells in the nervous system. Interestingly, patients with another disorder, trichothiodystrophy, have defects in some of the same genes as XP, but they have primary developmental abnormalities without an increase in skin cancer.

“Specifically, XP patients under the age of 20 years show a 10,000-fold increase in skin cancer, which demonstrates the substantial importance of DNA repair in cancer prevention in the general population [203][204][205].”

In the citing paper
“Another indirect evidence for the implication of photoinduced damage to DNA in carcinogenicity is provided by the high incidence of skin tumors in most of the complementation groups A-G of xeroderma pigmentosum patients (17,18) who suffer from deficiencies in nucleotide excision repair (19).”

In the citing paper
“The importance of NER in resistance to UV-induced cancers is clearly demonstrated by observing the natural history of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients, who through homozygous loss of one of the enzymes that carry out NER, are profoundly predisposed to melanoma and other UV-induced skin cancers”

“Photolesions engage the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, which corrects UV-induced DNA damage in a multistep process involving numerous repair factors including XPA, ERCC1, ERCC3 (XP-B), XPC, ERCC2 (XP-D), DDB2 (XP-E), ERCC4 (XP-F) and ERCC5 (XP-G)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
