A novel nonsense mutation of ERCC2 in a Vietnamese family with xeroderma pigmentosum syndrome group D

Abstract: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) group D, a severe disease often typified by extreme sun sensitivity, can be caused by ERCC2 mutations. ERCC2 encodes an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent DNA helicase, namely XP group D protein (XPD). The XPD, one of ten subunits of the transcription factor TFIIH, plays a critical role in the nucleotideexcision repair (NER) pathway. Mutations in XPD that affect the NER pathway can lead to neurological degeneration and skin cancer, which are the most common causes of death in XP … Show more

“…Patients also experience ocular damage, photophobia, and dry eyes. The fibroblasts in the Vietnamese cohort showed a defect in the NER pathway (1). The defect affects the DNA repair mechanism that occurs in XP, which renders it more sensitive to UVA radiation (21).…”

“…Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is characterized by increased photosensitivity, skin xerosis, early skin aging, actinic keratosis, erythematous lesions, and hyperpigmentation macules (1,2). Another feature is abnormal lentiginosis (freckle-like pigmentation due to increased numbers of melanocytes) on sun-exposed areas.…”
