A unified model for the molecular basis of Xeroderma pigmentosum-Cockayne Syndrome
Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) is a pathway that removes lesions distorting the DNA helix. The molecular basis of the rare diseases Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and Cockayne Syndrome (CS) are explained based on the defects happening in 2 NER branches: Global-Genome Repair and Transcription-Coupled Repair, respectively. Nevertheless, both afflictions sporadically occur together, giving rise to X...
متن کاملXeroderma pigmentosum-Cockayne syndrome complex
Xeroderma pigmentosum-Cockayne syndrome complex is a very rare multisystem degenerative disorder (Orpha: 220295; OMIM: 278730, 278760, 278780, 610651). Published information on XP-CS is mostly scattered throughout the literature. We compiled statistics related to symptom prevalence in XP-CS and have written a clinical description of the syndrome. We also drew on clinical practices used in XP an...
متن کاملXeroderma pigmentosum--Cockayne syndrome complex: a further case.
We report on a male patient born to healthy, first cousin, Moroccan parents. During the pregnancy growth retardation was observed. Birth weight, length, and OFC were all well below the 3rd centile. Facial anomalies, microphthalmia, cleft palate, small penis, and flexion contractures of large joints were noted. Cerebral MRI showed dysmyelination. The clinical course was characterised by feeding ...
متن کاملRare case of Cockayne syndrome with xeroderma pigmentosum.
Sir, Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and Cockayne syndrome (CS) are rare genodermatoses characterized by hypersensitivity to ultraviolet light. XP is a hereditary autosomal recessive condition, manifested clinically by abnormal photosensitivity of the skin and eyes, pigment anomalies, increased risk of cutaneous neoplasms and, frequently, by progressive neural degeneration (1 ± 3). CS is a rare auto...
متن کاملReduced RNA polymerase II transcription in extracts of cockayne syndrome and xeroderma pigmentosum/Cockayne syndrome cells.
The hereditary disease Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by arrested post-natal growth as well as neurological and other defects. The CSA and CSB genes are implicated in this disease. The clinical features of CS can also accompany the excision repair-defective hereditary disorder xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) from genetic complementation groups B, D or G. The XPB ...
