Cancer Risk in Individuals Who Have a Xeroderma Pigmentosum Gene Alteration Compared With Those Who Don't
Cancer Risk In Xeroderma Pigmentosum Heterozygotes

RATIONALE: Screening individuals who have a xeroderma pigmentosum gene alteration may help doctors identify persons at risk of developing cancer and identify other cancer genes.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is comparing cancer risk in individuals who have a xeroderma pigmentosum gene alteration to those who don't.

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare risk of developing any type of cancer in participants who are heterozygous carriers of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) disease gene mutations vs non-carrier blood relatives or spouses.
  • Compare risk of developing skin cancers or cancers of the nervous system in these participants.
  • Compare cancer risk in different groups among heterozygous carriers of XP disease gene mutations.
  • Compare cancer risk in carriers of different XP disease gene mutations with heterozygous carriers of these gene mutations.

OUTLINE: Participants undergo general cancer screening comprising a medical history and physical examination, including a skin and neurologic examination. Laboratory samples are collected for review.

Participants are followed annually by telephone or mail to determine clinical status.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 800 participants (400 heterozygous carriers and 400 non-carrier blood relatives or spouses) will be accrued for this study.
