Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) Overview

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) constitutes a rare hereditary skin disorder characterized by an exceptional vulnerability to ultraviolet (UV) triggered alterations in both skin and ocular tissues, alongside the development of numerous skin malignancies. The condition is categorized into eight distinct complementation groups based on the affected gene: classical XP (XPA to XPG) and XP variant (XPV). The gravity of clinical manifestations and the age of onset exhibit substantial variation, contingent upon sunlight exposure and the specific complementation group. Approximately 50% of afflicted individuals display acute sensitivity to sunlight during the initial months of life, characterized by severe sunburn or persistent erythema that takes weeks to ameliorate. Conversely, some individuals do not manifest any sunburn reaction but gradually manifest pronounced freckling in sun-exposed regions. Patients typically exhibit xerotic skin and hypo- or hyperpigmented lesions. Notably, a profound elevation exceeding 10,000-fold in the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers, as well as a 2,000-fold increase in the risk of melanoma before the age of 20 compared to the general population, is associated with XP. The root cause of XP emanates from mutations within eight genes implicated in DNA repair. Seven genes (XPA to XPG or ERCC5) participate in nucleotide excision repair (NER). XPV, also known as POLH, encodes for DNA polymerase eta—an essential enzyme for replicating DNA harboring UV-induced damage. The diagnostic approach involves evaluating clinical manifestations and confirming through cellular assessments to identify faulty DNA repair mechanisms. These include tests such as unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) conducted on cultured skin fibroblasts and assessments of heightened UV hypersensitivity. A diagnosis of XP is substantiated by diminished UDS and increased susceptibility to UV-induced cell death. In the case of the XP variant, a diagnosis is confirmed by regular UDS coupled with specific sensitivity to UV exposure in the presence of caffeine. While a definitive cure for XP remains elusive, enhancing life expectancy involves sun avoidance and routine monitoring to detect and manage emerging skin malignancies. The prognosis is favorable for individuals devoid of neurological complications and who adhere rigorously to UV protection measures. However, the progressive nature of neurological abnormalities can lead to a curtailed lifespan.
