Genetic heterogeneity in xeroderma pigmentosum: complementation groups and their relationship to DNA repair rates. 1975

Fibroblast strains from 12 patients with xeroderma pigmentosum had lower than normal rates of DNA repair, as determined by autoradiographic studies of ultraviolet-induced unscheduled nuclear DNA synthesis. The nuclei in binuclear cells, obtained by fusing fibroblasts from certain pairs of these strains, had a greater rate of DNA repair than the nuclei of either strain's unfused mononuclear cells. These results indicate that complementary corrections of the strains' repair defects had occurred in the fused cells. Four complementation groups were found, indicating that at least four mutations caused decreased DNA repair among these 12 strains. The unfused mononuclear cells of each group had a characteristic rate of repair that differed from the rates of the other groups.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010222 Parainfluenza Virus 1, Human A species of RESPIROVIRUS also called hemadsorption virus 2 (HA2), which causes laryngotracheitis in humans, especially children. Hemadsorption Virus 2,Human parainfluenza virus 1,Para-Influenza Virus Type 1,Parainfluenza Virus Type 1,Para Influenza Virus Type 1
D010641 Phenotype The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment. Phenotypes
D002459 Cell Fusion Fusion of somatic cells in vitro or in vivo, which results in somatic cell hybridization. Cell Fusions,Fusion, Cell,Fusions, Cell
D002471 Cell Transformation, Neoplastic Cell changes manifested by escape from control mechanisms, increased growth potential, alterations in the cell surface, karyotypic abnormalities, morphological and biochemical deviations from the norm, and other attributes conferring the ability to invade, metastasize, and kill.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004260 DNA Repair The removal of DNA LESIONS and/or restoration of intact DNA strands without BASE PAIR MISMATCHES, intrastrand or interstrand crosslinks, or discontinuities in the DNA sugar-phosphate backbones. DNA Damage Response
D004261 DNA Replication The process by which a DNA molecule is duplicated. Autonomous Replication,Replication, Autonomous,Autonomous Replications,DNA Replications,Replication, DNA,Replications, Autonomous,Replications, DNA
D005347 Fibroblasts Connective tissue cells which secrete an extracellular matrix rich in collagen and other macromolecules. Fibroblast
D005816 Genetic Complementation Test A test used to determine whether or not complementation (compensation in the form of dominance) will occur in a cell with a given mutant phenotype when another mutant genome, encoding the same mutant phenotype, is introduced into that cell.
