This website provides information on xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients with mutations in the XPA gene, including clinical data, molecular data, management and research options.

The syndrome, caused by mutations in the XPA gene, is a disorder characterized by sunburn sensitivity, skin pigmentation changes, multiple skin cancers on sun-exposed areas, neurological degeneration, developmental delay.

Not all individuals with a mutation in the XPA gene have these features.

This website was created to share and collect information about clinic, management and research projects to gather more knowledge and provide better treatment of patients with mutations in the XPA gene.
