New paper alert! 🚨
We report two Cypriot XP-A patients with a mild phenotype caused by the homozygous c.389G>A (p.R130K) variant.
👉 The variant affects splicing, leading to reduced XPA mRNA/protein but residual NER activity.

Happy to share our new paper with Goran Kokic and the Svejstrup lab in Cell!
We show that STK19 facilitates the clearance of lesion-stalled RNAPII during transcription-coupled DNA repair.
Great teamwork by Diana, Marta and Paula!
