title: Splitting hairs--discovery of a new DNA repair and transcription factor for the human disease trichothiodystrophy.
abstract: The gene responsible for the TTD-A group of the DNA repair deficient disease trichothiodystrophy has been identified as a small, 8 kDa, component of the transcription factor TFIIH which contributes to the stability and concentration of TFIIH in vivo.
