    There are several subtypes of COFS all of which are characterized by progressive neurologic disorder, microcephaly (small head) with intracranial calcifications, prominent noses, large ears, hypotonia, and growth failure. [themedicalbiochemistrypage.org]

    Other neurological deficits include nerve deafness (high-frequency hearing loss), microcephaly, abnormal motor activity (spasticity, ataxia, chorea, spasticity, difficulty swallowing) and progressive neural degeneration. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

  • Multiple Ulcerations

    A 3-year-old girl presented to the Eye Hospital, Blantyre, Malawi, with multiple ulcerating lesions on her face and in her eyes. Her skin was freckled, with hypopigmented and hyperpigmented areas (poikilodermia) typical of xeroderma pigmentosa. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Here with, we are reporting a case of carcinoma esophagus with XP, who tolerated the treatment well with sufficiently prolonged palliation of symptoms, after treatment with external beam radiotherapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Before, during, and after treatment, biopsies of all suspicious lesions were performed, and skin cancers were surgically removed. The patients had a total of 121 tumors (mean, 24; range, 8 to 43) in the two-year interval before treatment. [nejm.org]

Prognosis The prognosis varies with the severity of the genetic disorder, the success in avoiding UV light and vigilance of screening. [patient.info]

Prognosis There is no cure for XP but sun avoidance and regular follow-up to assess and treat any skin cancers increases life expectancy. For those with no neurological disease and rigorous UV protection, the prognosis is good. [orpha.net]

(Outcomes/Resolutions) Xeroderma Pigmentosa is an inherited genetic disorder with a poor prognosis. [dovemed.com]

The prognosis is good in patients without neurological disorders and scrupulously protect from UV rays. [flipper.diff.org]

They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]

(Etiology) Xeroderma Pigmentosa is an infrequent genetic condition that is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern XP is caused by mutations in the genes that are needed to repair the DNA. [dovemed.com]

Summary Epidemiology It has an estimated prevalence of 1/1,000,000 in the USA and Europe, with higher figures in other countries (e.g. Japan, North Africa and Pakistan), particularly in communities with a high degree of consanguinity. [orpha.net]

For controls we will compare XP heterozygotes to their non-carrier blood relatives and spouses and to the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) rates. [clinicaltrials.gov]

EPIDEMIOLOGY This disease involves both sexes and all races, with an incidence of 1:250.000 in the United States and a gene frequency of 1:200. XP is roughly six times more common in Japanese people than in other groups. [flipper.diff.org]

Epidemiology [ 1 ] XP is very rare but appears to be present throughout the world and in every ethnic group. There are currently approximately 100 diagnosed cases in the UK. The incidence in the USA is estimated as 1 in 1 million. [patient.info]

Etiology Pathophysiology XP is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by defective nucleotide excision repair (XP-A to XP-G) or post-replication repair (XP-variant). Each type of XP is characterized by a specific gene mutation. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

As a preventive measure, such products may be rubbed onto the affected area as needed (often every other day) to prevent dry skin. The skin is then patted dry to prevent removal of natural lipids from the skin. [en.wikipedia.org]

A complete protection from sunlight is the most effective measure to prevent progression of the condition Nevertheless, the prognosis of Xeroderma Pigmentosa is poor. [dovemed.com]

“Our initial aim was to back research, but with the psychological and financial hardship experienced by families we have made support for individuals, prevention, early diagnosis and information for doctors our priority. [eurordis.org]

Since it is the UV light that causes damage, a big part of prevention of problems is protecting the skin and eyes from sunlight. [verywell.com]
