Abstract
I am assuming that most readers are familiar with the human genodermatosis xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). It is a rare genetic disease with hypersensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and numerous malignancies on sun-exposed areas of the skin and the eye because of an inability to repair DNA damage inflicted by harmful UV radiation.
