Xeroderma pigmentosum G – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2086751990

Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group G (XPG) is an extremely rare subtype of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), a rare photodermatosis predisposing to skin cancers. Clinical manifestations can vary as some patients present with a mild XP phenotype (UV sensitivity, hyper- or hypo-pigmented skin lesions and increased incidence of skin cancer) and others combine symptoms of XP with systemic and neurological manifestations of Cockayne syndrome (XP/CS complex).
