Immune dysfunction in nucleotide excision repair disorders: an underrecognized clinical phenotype with relevance for inborn errors of immunity

A mini-review examining immune dysfunction across nucleotide excision repair disorders and implications for diagnosing and classifying inborn errors of immunity.

Key Takeaways
  • Inherited defects in NER genes cause rare disorders such as xeroderma pigmentosum (XP)
  • Clinical attention has focused on dermatologic and neurologic manifestations
  • Many repair-dominant XP subtypes seem to retain largely preserved baseline immune function
