Xeroderma pigmentosum is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis caused by a genetic defect in components of the nucleotide excision repair pathway. It is characterized by extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet light which leads to the development of multiple skin cancers. Other common findings include photophobia, conjunctivitis, keratitis, skin photosensitivity, and atrophy of the skin. Approximately 25 to 30% of individuals with XP have neurological abnormalities.read more
