Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="php12301-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The seminal discovery by James Cleaver of defective DNA repair in xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) opened up an ever‐expanding field of DNA repair‐related disorders. In addition, it put XP on the map and has led to improved diagnosis, care and management of affected patients. In the United Kingdom, we recently established a multidisciplinary specialist clinic for XP patients. All XP patients in the United Kingdom are able to visit the clinic where they are examined and advised by a team of specialists with detailed knowledge of the different aspects of XP.</p> </abstract>
