PhenomeGene — Human Disease Gene Website SeriesXPE

XPE

This website provides information on xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients with mutations in the XPE/DDB2 gene, including clinical data, molecular data, management and research options.

The syndrome, caused by mutations in the XPEgene, is a disorder characterized by skin pigmentation changes and multiple skin cancers on sun-exposed areas.

This website was created to share and collect information about clinic, management and research projects to gather more knowledge and provide better treatment of patients with mutations in the XPEgene.
