Heterogeneous clinical features in Cockayne syndrome patients and siblings carrying the same CSA mutations.
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in ERCC6/CSB or ERCC8/CSA that participate in the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) of UV-induced DNA damage. CS patients display a large heterogeneity of clinical symptoms and severities, the reason of which is not fully understood, and that cannot be anticipated in the diagnostic phase. In addition, little data is available for affected siblings, and this disease is largely undiagnosed in North Africa.Asma Chikhaoui, Ichraf Kraoua, Nadège Calmels, Sami Bouchoucha, Cathy Obringer, Khouloud Zayoud, Benjamin Montagne, Ridha M'rad, Sonia Abdelhak, Vincent Laugel, Miria Ricchetti, Ilhem Turki, Houda Yacoub-Youssef
