XERODERMA PIGMENTOSUM: A HUMAN DISEASE IN WHICH AN INITIAL STAGE OF DNA REPAIR IS DEFECTIVE

Open access
Cleaver, J. E.·1969·Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Homozygous xeroderma pigmentosum fibroblasts cannot repair damage to DNA bases, but can repair damage that involves chain breaks. In xeroderma pigmentosum, therefore, there is a defect in an early step in repair at which base damage is recognized and the polynucleotide chain broken enzymatically (by an endonuclease). Heterozygous fibroblasts repair base damage to normal extents. Carcinogenesis in xeroderma pigmentosum, and perhaps in some normal individuals, may be the result of somatic mutations caused by unrepaired damage.

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.
