Comment on publications: PMID: 23623389 - homozygous missense variant reported in a patient with Cockayne syndrome
PMID: 17273966 - ERCC1 deficiency in a patient with cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome with a mild defect in nucleotide excision repair and severe developmental failure
PMID: 40684071 - hepatorenal syndrome identified in seven individuals from five families carrying biallelic ERCC1 variants. All individuals presented with skin and/or ocular photosensitivity, among other features such as growth restriction, café-au-lait macules, kidney impairment, progressive cholestatic liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
