Corneal edema in xeroderma pigmentosa.

Only registered users can translate articles

Defective global genome repair in XPC mice is associated with skin cancer susceptibility but not with sensitivity to UVB induced erythema and edema.

Only registered users can translate articles

It is generally presumed that xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients are extremely sensitive to developing UV erythema, and that they have a more than 1000-fold increased skin cancer risk. Recently established mouse models for XP can be employed to investigate the mechanism of these increased

Ocular involvement in xeroderma pigmentosum.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 37-year-old, white woman with xeroderma pigmentosum had reduced vision for many years because of primary and secondary corneal epithelial edema and stromal haze. Corneal grafting was required, but was not successful. Numerous primary dermal tumors of various types involving the lids of both eyes

Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty for Endothelial Dysfunction in Xeroderma Pigmentosum: A Clinicopathological Correlation and Review of Literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) mainly affects the ocular surface; however, endothelial damage may also occur. We would like to report changes in the endothelial-Descemet layer and review the literature on similar findings in patients with XP, including the role of Descemet stripping automated

Corneal changes in xeroderma pigmentosum: a clinicopathologic report.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To report the clinicopathologic features of corneal involvement in patients with xeroderma pigmentosum. METHODS Retrospective review of corneal histopathology. METHODS Thirteen corneal specimens of 11 patients with xeroderma pigmentosum who underwent keratoplasty (lamellar/full-thickness)

[Trichothiodystrophy: progresssive manifestations].

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Trichothiodystrophy is an autosomal recessive genodermatosis associating congenital dysplasia of the hair and neuroectodermal defects. Clinical expression is variable, although abnormalities are generally noted from birth. We report trichothiodystrophy in two brothers with the same

Instrumentation and action spectra in light-associated diseases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Instrumentation for studying action spectra in controls and various light-associated diseases is described. This study summarizes tests performed with a prism grating monochromator during the last 10 yr. There were 68 photodermatoses studied: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) (1), lupus erythematosus (LE)

Relative susceptibilities of XPA knockout mice and their heterozygous and wild-type littermates to UVB-induced skin cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients are rare, carriers of XP genes (heterozygotes) are much more common. Whether such carriers have an increased skin cancer risk is unknown. Recently developed mouse models for XP have opened up the possibility of determining the skin cancer risk of

A novel homozygous ERCC5 truncating mutation in a family with prenatal arthrogryposis--further evidence of genotype-phenotype correlation.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report on a family with five fetuses conceived to first cousin parents presenting with abnormal ultrasound findings including contractures and microcephaly. Cerebellar hypoplasia and ventriculomegaly were also present in two and fetal edema developed in the one fetus that survived beyond 24 weeks

Solar UV damage to cellular DNA: from mechanisms to biological effects.

Only registered users can translate articles

Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation generates bulky photodimers at di-pyrimidine sites that pose stress to cells and organisms by hindering DNA replication and transcription. In addition, solar UV also induces various types of oxidative DNA lesions and single strand DNA breaks. Relieving toxicity and
