Types
There are seven complementation groups, plus one variant form:
| Type | Diseases Database | OMIM | Gene | Locus | Also known as/Description |
| Type A, I, XPA | 29877 | 278700 | XPA | 9q22.3 | Xeroderma pigmentosum group A - the classical form of XP |
| Type B, II, XPB | 29878 | 133510 | XPB | 2q21 | Xeroderma pigmentosum group B |
| Type C, III, XPC | 29879 | 278720 | XPC | 3p25 | Xeroderma pigmentosum group C |
| Type D, IV, XPD | 29880 | 278730 278800 | XPD ERCC6 | 19q13.2-q13.3, 10q11 | Xeroderma pigmentosum group D or De Sanctis-Cacchione syndrome (can be considered a subtype of XPD) |
| Type E, V, XPE | 29881 | 278740 | DDB2 | 11p12-p11 | Xeroderma pigmentosum group E |
| Type F, VI, XPF | 29882 | 278760 | ERCC4 | 16p13.3-p13.13 | Xeroderma pigmentosum group F |
| Type G, VII, XPG | 29883 | 278780 133530 | RAD2 ERCC5 | 13q33 | Xeroderma pigmentosum group G and COFS syndrome type 3 |
| Type V, XPV | 278750 | POLH | 6p21.1-p12 | Xeroderma pigmentosum variant - these patients suffer from mutation in a gene that codes for a specialized DNA polymerase called polymerase-η (eta). Polymerase-η can replicate over the damage and is needed when cells enter S-phase in the presence of a DNA-replication. |

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
—Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)
“The rank and file have let their servants become their masters and dictators.... Provision should be made in all union constitutions for the recall of leaders. Big salaries should not be paid. Career hunters should be driven out, as well as leaders who use labor for political ends. These types are menaces to the advancement of labor.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
