There are three related, clinically defined disorders of DNA repair: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), trichothiodystrophy (TTD) and Cockayne syndrome (CS). 1 Photosensitivity, neurological/developmental abnormalities, and skin cancer are important pathological features that can be used to distinguish between these three archetypes. 1, 2 TTD is a rare, autosomal recessive disease characterized by brittle, sulfur-deficient hair and multisystem abnormalities. 3 The general TFIIH subunit 5 (GTF2H5) gene, GTF2H5, is known to be a causative gene of TTD, complementation group A (TTDA, OMIM# 616395). None of five patients with mutations in TTDA showed skin cancers (Table 1). 4-6 Here, we describe a recurrent mutation in GTF2H5 in a Japanese male suffering from TTDA complicated with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The proband is a 44-year-old Japanese man, the oldest of four siblings born to related parents. At the age of 15 years, left sensorineural deafness was noted. On examination, he had short and somewhat brittle hair, with no hypotrichosis (Fig. 1a). He was found to have generalized scaling on the face, trunk and extremities, and palmoplantar keratoderma (Fig. 1b). A lesional skin biopsy revealed hyperkeratosis, acanthosis and thinned granular layers (Fig. 1g). Light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy demonstrated abnormal, irregular hair surfaces (Fig. 1d, e). He has short stature (-4.2 standard deviations) with normal weight.
