title: A ninth complementation group in xeroderma pigmentosum, XP I.
abstract: A new complementation group of excision-deficient xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is described in 2 patients living in the F.R.G. Dermatological, ophthalmological and neurological symptoms of XP are presented together with DNA repair characteristics such as unscheduled DNA synthesis, colony-forming ability and alkaline elution studied in cultured fibroblasts. The results are compared to normal controls.
