title: A child with xeroderma pigmentosum and bone marrow failure.
abstract: The case of a child with both xeroderma pigmentosum and bone marrow failure is reported. It is suggested that this is not a chance association, and that the bone marrow hypoplasia may reflect an increased susceptibility of this patient's haemopoietic stem cells to non-UV mutagens.
