What is xeroderma pigmentosum? The rare genetic disorder that forces people to avoid sunlight
Affected populations: Xeroderma pigmentosum is a rare genetic disorder that makes people's skin extremely sensitive to the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) light. Both males and females can develop ...
Exposure to solar light is important in skin photoaging and in the development of basal and squamous cell carcinomas (BCC and SCC), the prevailing types of human cancers (Kraemer, 1997; DePinho, 2000) ...
A rare inherited disorder, Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) is a photosensitive condition characterized by high susceptibility to skin cancers. XP follows the autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.
(Vienna, Nov. 17, 2017) The destructive force of UV radiation on DNA molecules is only fully visible, when repair mechanisms fail: patients with the rare genetic disease Xeroderma pigmentosum - also ...
