Characteristics of Xeroderma Pigmentosum in Japan: Lessons From Two Clinical Surveys and Measures for Patient Care. Nishigori C, Nakano E, Masaki T, Ono R, Takeuchi S, Tsujimoto M, et al. Prenatal diagnosis of xeroderma pigmentosum can be accomplished using similar chromosomal breakage studies on amniocytes from at-risk fetuses. To eliminate subjectivity, the person evaluating the chromosomal abnormalities is not informed as to which group the slides being examined belong.

Cells from unrelated healthy individuals are used as controls. The cells from the patient are compared with those from the patient's parents (if possible, as they are obligate heterozygotes for xeroderma pigmentosum). Then, chromosomal breakage is evaluated in at least 100-200 cells, with at least 2 replicates for each dose. In the cellular hypersensitivity to UV radiation and chromosomal breakage studies, the xeroderma pigmentosum fibroblasts are stressed with different doses of UV radiation. These studies include cellular hypersensitivity to UV radiation and chromosomal breakage studies, complementation studies, and gene sequencing to identify the specific gene complementation group. The diagnosis of xeroderma pigmentosum can be established with studies performed in specialized laboratories. No consistent routine laboratory abnormalities are present in xeroderma pigmentosum patients.
