DeSanctis–Cacchione syndrome

DeSanctis–Cacchione syndrome or Xeroderma pigmentosum is a Genetic disorder characterized by the skin and eye symptoms of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) occurring in association with microcephaly, progressive mental retardation, retarded growth and sexual development, deafness, choreoathetosis, ataxia and quadriparesis. [2]

DeSanctis–Cacchione syndrome
Other namesXeroderma pigmentosum with neurologic manifestation[1]
DeSanctis–Cacchione syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner

Genetics

In at least some case, the gene lesion involves a mutation in the CSB gene.[3]

It can be associated with ERCC6.[4]
