title: Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia in Xeroderma Pigmentosum creator: Nayak, RR creator: Kamath, GM creator: Kamath, MM creator: Kamath, AR creator: D'Souza, S subject: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences description: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic disorder associated with multiple oculocutaneous and neurological manifestations. It occurs due to deficiency of the enzymes responsible for repairing ultraviolet radiation-induced DNA damage. Persistence of un-repaired DNA results in somatic mutations, leading to neoplasia of the skin and ocular surface. As this condition is rare, only isolated case reports of XP with ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) are found in literature. publisher: Kakkilaya BS contributor: Kakkilaya, Dr Srinivas date: 2013-11-15 type: Journal (On-line/Unpaginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/9702/1/2013-3-15.pdf identifier: Nayak, RR and Kamath, GM and Kamath, MM and Kamath, AR and D'Souza, S (2013) Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia in Xeroderma Pigmentosum.
