   Xeroderma pigmentosum
   Xeroderma pigmentosum, or XP, is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder of DNA repair in which the ability to repair damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) light is deficient.{rp|574} In extreme cases, all exposure to sunlight must be forbidden, no matter how small. Multiple basal cell carcinomas (basa...

    Xeroderma pigmentosum
    Xeroderma pigmentosum is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by photosensitivity, pigmentary changes, skin neoplasms, and premature aging of the skin.

    xeroderma pigmentosum
    A genetic condition marked by an extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, including sunlight. People with xeroderma pigmentosum are not able to repair skin damage from the sun and other sources of ultraviolet radiation, and have a very high risk of skin cancer.
