    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To establish skin fibroblast cell strains derived from Chinese xeroderma pigmentosum(XP) patients and to analyze the genetic complementation group and distribution. METHODS: From four XP patients, skin fibroblast cell strains were derived and used for the complementation group analysis by autoradiography and cell-fusion technique. RESULTS: Of the four XP patients from apparently independent families, three were assigned to group C, and one belonged to group E. This is the first report on XP-E patient in China. CONCLUSION: Based on the data from the previous 7 cases and the present 4 cases, the distribution of complementation group in Chinese XP patients known at present is: nine XP-C, one XP-F and one XP-E. Although the number of cases is still limited, XP-C appears to be more frequent in China. This forms a marked contrast to Japanese XP patients, who are dominated by XP-A with infrequent presence of XP-C.
