Abstract:
Xeroderma pigmentosum is a genodermatosis with neurological manifestations in approximately 18p. 100 of cases. Polymorphous and variably associated signs are observed, progressing with the clinical course. The etiology of the neurological breach remains unknown. We report two siblings who had xeroderma pigmentosum with intellectual deficiency, a pyramidal, cerebellar and cordonal syndrome, ophthalmoplegia, and axonal peripheral neuropathy. We discuss the epidemiological, clinical and electrophysiological aspects of the neurological breach in xeroderma pigmentosum.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...

Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...
