DNA METHYLATION |
Sano et al (Mutation Res 217:141-151,1989) examined DNA methylation in normal and Xeroderma pigmentosum cell lines. The amount of 5-methylcytosine in DNA from XP cell lines was on average about 70% of that in DNA from normal controls. The value observed for this XP cell line was 80%. Southern hybridization analysis showed that the HLA-DRa gene in XP B-lymphoblasts was differently methylated from normals, but its expression was apparently unaffected. The methylation of dihydrofolate reductase, a housekeeping gene, was the same as in controls. |

Identified Mutation |
3-PRIME SPLICE SITE, INTRON 3; Tanaka et al. [Nature 348: 73-76 (1990)] found that most Japanese patients with type A xeroderma pigmentosum had a G-to-C transversion at the 3-prime splice acceptor site of intron 3 of the XPAC gene. Satokata et al. [Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 87: 9908-9912, (1990)] found that the single base substitution abolished the canonical 3-prime splice site and created 2 abnormally spliced mRNA forms. The larger form was identical with normal mRNA except for a dinucleotide deletion at the 5-prime end of exon 4. This deletion resulted in a frameshift with premature termination of translation in exon 4. The smaller form had a deletion of the entire exon 3 and the dinucleotide at the 5-prime end of exon 4. A single base substitution creates a new cleavage site for the restriction endonuclease AlwNI. Using the AlwNI RFLP, Satokata et al. [Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 87: 9908-9912 (1990)] found that 16 of 21 unrelated Japanese patients with XP were homozygous and 4 were heterozygous for this mutation. However, 11 Caucasians and 2 blacks with group A XP did not have this mutant allele. Kore-eda et al. [Arch. Derm. 128: 971-974 (1992)] demonstrated the usefulness of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by search for the AlwNI RFLP in the diagnosis of XPA. Cleaver et al. [Hum. Molec. Genet. 4: 1685-1687 (1995)] stated that homozygosity for a G-to-C transversion at the 3-prime acceptor site of intron III/exon IV represents 80 to 90% of Japanese patients with XPA. |

Remarks |
Japanese; XP20S; severe XP; mental retardation; gait disturbance; see GM04312 SV40 Transformed Fibroblast; < 2% of normal UV induced unscheduled DNA synthesis in fibroblasts; similarly affected sister is GM04314 (Fibroblast); donor subject is homozygous for the G-to-C transversion at the 3-prime splice acceptor site of intron 3 of the XPA gene, abolishing the canonical 3-prime splice site and creating two abnormally spliced mRNA forms. |
