Snn Francisco,(hlifornia 94143 lri 1965 H. HI-Hefnawi, S. Maynarti-Smith and 1,. S. t’enrose examined tht: A130 blood grouping in 34 Egyptian families in which at least 1 person had xeroderma pigmentosum (XP).‘I’hcy reported that 37 of the 46 affected pt: rsons were blood group 0. This rcmarkahlt: OX (* CSS of group 0 individuals (0.8043) was in striking contrast to thc frequency of 0 individuals in tht. ir cwntrol scbrics (0.3220). 5200 inhabitants of tho Cairo area. prc: dominant. ly blood donors. 7 ‘ht. y subjected t. he data to a sophisticated genetic. analysis and obtained strong cvidcncc for linkage bctwwn thc A130 locw and the XI’‘locus’, with a recombination fraction of 0= 0.179 (El-H afnaw i, Maynard-Sm it h & t’enrosc, 1 965). Sinc. cb that report appeared, the ABO locus has been mapped to the distal part. of thc long arm of’chromosomo 9 (Ferguson-Smith ef al. 1976), and XI’has been found to bc ttxtraordinarily ht. tc. rogeneous gcnct ica. lly (Andrtwx l! l8: 3). i2’it. h rt: spoct to t. his hetcv-ogcwcity, tht. majority of p: rsons wit h c. linic* al features of XI’have heon found to bo drficicnt. at excising pyrimidine dimers from their cells following ult. raviolet (254 nm wavelength) irradiat, ion while tht. rcmaindcr art’d (: fi. ct ivc. in DNA replication following irradiation (Andrews. 1983; Clcavcr. 1983). Purthcrmorc. c* c. ll-fusion twhniques have shown that t. he cxc: ision-dcficiant persons fall iQto multiplc coni~) lcmentat. ion groups, very possibly rcprcsenting mutations at morc than ontr loc* us (Andrcws, 1983; Cleaver. 1985; Kobbins et a. 1. 1!) 74). Therefore, linkage analysis in XP has takcn on il c* omplcxity that c~) uld not have twn suspwtcd in 1965. S P is raw in all prts of t. he world, but for unknown rcasons it is relatively common in Egypt and wrt. ain other Sorth African wuntries. Since 1978 we haw been conducting a study of multiplt~ aspwts of XI’in Egypt (Hashem et al. 1980;(Ilcaver et al. 1981) and. among othcr clt: tc~ minations, havc pwformod ABO hlood typing when possible on affected p: rsons and their rclativcs.-4lt. hough the long-term study is incwmpleti:, An0 typing data arc sufficient to show thc cxistcnce of a distribution of types very different from t. hat rcportcd by El-Hefnawi rt n/.(1965): t. hus this interim report. Xo excess of group 0 among the affected persons exists. and no suggcstion of XP/A BO linkage emerges. In contrast, a slight cx (: ess of persons with blood typs 13 and, 413 is present, whereas persons of type 13 and AH sctually were ddicicmt in thc HI-I Icfnawi et al. report.In t hc cntirc. survey, wt oursclvcs haw: oxamined 32 persons with XP, mainly in tht. c-linic. of I lit,(; cnt. tic* s Centcr of Ain-Shams 1Tnivcrsity.
