Three rare autosomal-recessive inherited diseases are associated with defective nucleotide excision repair: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne syndrome, and trichothiodystrophy (Bootsma et al., 2002). XP patients are sun-sensitive and skin cancer prone. Their skin cancer risk is approximately 1,000 times higher compared to the normal population. Cockayne syndrome and trichothiodystrophy patients are not skin cancer prone (van Steeg and Kraemer, 1999). The xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) gene on chromosome 3 encodes a 940-amino-acid protein that is part of a heterotrimeric complex with HHR23B and centrin 2 and acts as damage sensor and initiator of the nucleotide excision repair during global genomic repair but not transcription-coupled repair (Khan et al., 2006).
