DEAR EDITOR, The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway repairs ultraviolet (UV)-induced photoproducts. According to the respective mutated genes (XPA–XPG) and a variant form with a defect in translesion synthesis (Pol H), seven xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) complementation groups (XP-A to XP-G) have been identified. Patients belonging to XP complementation groups B, D, F and G can exhibit XP symptoms, including photosensitivity, freckling and a high increase in the risk of skin cancer, combined with Cockayne syndrome (CS) symptoms, which include photosensitivity, neurological abnormalities and failure to thrive, but no preponderance for skin cancer (XP/CS complex phenotype). This indicates a role of the respective proteins in DNA repair, as well as in basal transcription. The human XPG/ERCC5 gene (OMIM: 278780) encodes an 1186-amino acid protein and is located on chromosome 13q32 3-q33 1. During NER, XPG performs the 30 incision of the damage-containing strand and stabilizes the basal transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) by two interaction
