Presentation
In the present study, we reported a Chinese family with XPV phenotype, which was confirmed by histopathological results. Genetic variants were detected by polymerase chain reaction and exon sequencing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients present with skin lesions, generally at the sun-exposed parts of the body which develop into skin cancer at about 20-30 years of age with a 1,000 times higher frequency than that of the general population. [orpha.net]

Suggestibility
Current evidence suggests that the polymerase switch from replicative to translesion polymerases might be mediated by post-translational modifications involving ubiquitination processes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Both normal and XP variant fibroblasts, however, displayed similar PRR activities in response to BPDE-I treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis varies with the severity of the genetic disorder, the success in avoiding UV light and vigilance of screening. [patient.info]
The prognosis is good in patients without neurological disorders and scrupulously protect from UV rays. [flipper.diff.org]
Etiology
Etiology The disease is due to mutations in the POLH gene ( XPV ) (6p21.1-p12) encoding the error-prone DNA-polymerase eta (pol-eta) which performs trans-lesion synthesis past ultraviolet (UV) photoproducts. [orpha.net]

It is believed to be associated with periods of high alcohol ingestion. 7 Chronic purpura pigmentosa is a condition of unknown etiology, characterized by a chronic inflammatory process of the vascular wall. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology It is observed in approximately 20% of XP patients and approximately 50 cases have been reported in the literature. Clinical description It is often diagnosed in the late teens or early 20s. [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]

Pathophysiology
A history of consanguinity may be elicited in about 30% of the cases. [8] The pathophysiology and genetic basis of XP is complex. UV radiation elicits the formation of pyrimidine-dimers of adjoining thymidine residues in the same DNA strand. [ijpmonline.org]
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]
Prevention
Therefore, the isotretinoin treatment seems to be a good approach for cancer prevention in conditions with high predisposition to skin cancer, such as in XP-V. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
