Diagnosis The diagnosis of xeroderma pigmentosum is based on the skin, eye, and nervous system symptoms (if present). A special test performed on blood or a skin sample can look for the DNA repair defect present in XP. [verywell.com]

  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]

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]

The treatment of XP is challenging because it is a multisystem disease, there are no causative treatment options available and, usually, by the time of diagnosis significant tissue damage has already occurred. [therapeutique-dermatologique.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]

(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]

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]

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]

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]

“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]
