^*The transcription-coupled repair (TCR) and global genome repair (GGR) phenotypes of these fibroblasts have been reported (11,12,18).

^†The ability of cells to recover mRNA synthesis after UV-irradiation. Data for XP-C, CS-B and XP-A cells have been reported (4).

^‡The sensitivity of cells to apoptosis induced by 10 J/m² UV light. Data for XP-C, CS-B and XP-A cells have been reported previously (4,5).
