Abstract : Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genodermatosis predisposing to skin cancers. The disease is classified into eight groups. Among them, XP group A (XP-A) is characterized by the presence of neurological abnormalities in addition to cutaneous symptoms. In the present study, we report a particular family with XP-A in which some members showed an atypical clinical presentation, i.e. unexplained neurological abnormalities with discrete skin manifestations. Molecular investigation allowed identification of a novel XPA mutation and complete phenotype-genotype correlation for this new phenotypic expression of XP-A.
