• Xeroderma Pigmentosum, or XP, is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder of DNA repair, in which the ability to repair damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) light is deficient. In extreme cases, all exposure to sunlight is forbidden, no matter how small, and as such, individuals with the disease are often colloquially referred to as ‘Children of the Night’.
