DNA replication and repair-deficiency disorders

page 1
xeroderma pigmentosum
autosomal recessive disease that is characterized by a deficiency in the ability to repair ultraviolet damage that has material basis in autosomal recessive inheritance of DNA repair
Fanconi anemia
human genetic disease
severe combined immunodeficiency
combined T cell and B cell immunodeficiency that is caused by a defect in several genes encoding for B and T lymphocytes resulting in individuals with non-functional immune systems
Lynch syndrome
Human disease
Werner syndrome
Lethal autosomal recessive disorder
ataxia telangiectasia
Ataxia–telangiectasia (AT or A–T), also referred to as ataxia–telangiectasia syndrome or Louis–Bar syndrome, is a rare, neurodegenerative disease causing severe disability. Ataxia refers to poor coordination and telangiectasia to small dilated blood vessels, both of which are hallmarks of the disease. A–T affects many parts of the body: It impairs certain areas of the brain including the cerebellum, causing difficulty with movement and coordination. It weakens the immune system, causing a predisposition to infection. It prevents the repair of broken DNA, increasing the risk of cancer.
Bloom syndrome
rare genetic disorder with short strature and predisposition to cancer
Li-Fraumeni syndrome
autosomal dominant disease characterized by increased risk of developing several types of cancer, including breast cancer, osteosarcomata and soft tissue sarcomata
Cockayne syndrome
rare and fatal autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder
Rothmund-Thomson syndrome
human disease
Nijmegen breakage syndrome
human disease
Muir-Torre syndrome
Human disease
rapadilino syndrome
Human disease
dyskeratosis congenita
rare progressive congenital disorder with a highly variable phenotype
trichothiodystrophy syndromes
Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterised by brittle hair and intellectual impairment. The word breaks down into tricho – "hair", thio – "sulphur", and dystrophy – "wasting away" or literally "bad nourishment". TTD is associated with a range of symptoms connected with organs of the ectoderm and neuroectoderm. TTD may be subclassified into four syndromes: Approximately half of all patients with trichothiodystrophy have photosensitivity, which divides the classification into syndromes with or without photosensitivity; BIDS and PBIDS, and IBIDS and PIBID
DeSanctis–Cacchione syndrome
rare autosomal recessive inherited syndrome. It is characterized by xeroderma pigmentosum, mental retardation, dwarfism, hypogonadism, and neurologic abnormalities
