Abstract: | Immediate fragmentation of parental DNA by near-ultraviolet irradiation at 313 nm was measured in cultured skin fibroblasts from normal individuals, patients with Xeroderma pigmentosum of complementation group A (XPA) and Xeroderma pigmentosum variants (XPV) by the alkaline elution procedure. For a dose of 2.25 KJm?2 given at Oo fragmentation was comparable in all cell strains. However, fragmentation was strongly increased relative to Oo in XPV but not in normal fibroblasts and the XPA strains when irradiation was carried out at 37o. From our results it appears that a step in the repair of DNA is abnormal in XPV. |
