XPA protein from a patient with typical group A xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and three atypical group-A XP patients were analysed. Immunoblot analysis of XPA proteins revealed that a typical group-A XP patient showed no XPA protein band, while a smaller, truncated XPA protein, which appears to be responsible for mid skin lesions and minimal neurological abnormalities, was detected in cells from three atypical group-A XP patients. Furthermore, the difference in the amount of truncated XPA protein correlated with the mildness of neurological manifestations in these three atypical group-A XP patients. The results suggest a correlation between clinical manifestations and qualitative and quantitative abnormalities of XPA protein products.
