Total of XP patients

88

  

89 tumors on internal organs

 
  1. HSCT, hematopoietic stem cell transplant; RAEB, refractory anemia with excess of blasts; MDS, myelodysplasia (previously called RAEB); AML, acute myeloid leukemia; ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukemia; NR, not reported
  2. *By definition, internal tumors are all tumors except skin tumors (Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, malignant melanoma) and their metastases as well as cutaneous angiosarcoma. We have excluded tongue and lip tumors, which are essentially caused by sun exposure in XP patients
  3. The tumor types are given as reported in the original publications
  4. We called “Med Basin” XP patients originated from the south part of the Mediterranean see, characterized by early skin cancer development and an absence of neurological deterioration. These patients probably belong to the XP group C and have all chance to exhibit the North African XPC founder mutation described as “delTG” (see below and [13])
  5. $This patient was described as De Sanctis-Cacchione syndrome, which is mainly associated with XPA mutations but can be eventually mistaken with XP-D patient
  6. ||NR: not reported. At the time of the publications, XP genes were unknown
  7. These patients were seen at NIH (Bethesda, United States) by the group of K.H. Kraemer. They are probably of American origins but this is not explicitly indicated in the publications
  8. #delTG refers to the founder mutation found in the vast majority of XP-C patients from North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya): c.1643_1644delTG; p.Val548AlafsX572 [9, 13]
  9. **Sisters
  10. ††Monozygotic twins
  11. $$This patient developed two different unrelated internal tumors
  12. || ||Monozygotic twins
  13. ¶¶The total number of patients indicated here (176) corresponds to 161 XP patients described already by us [42] where only hematological malignancies were reported, but where some of these XP patients had also other internal tumors but not reported, plus 15 new XP patients since this last publication
  14. ##The NIH American cohort of 137 XP patients has 14 individuals with internal tumors. Thirteen were already published and the publications are indicated in the table. One new patient with lung cancer was indicated to us by Dr. K.H. Kraemer and his group as a personal communication
