This article is about what xeroderma pigmentosum is, its symptoms, treatment, and prevention. Early detection of this disease can protect you from skin cancer. Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic disease. It causes hypersensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) light, eye problems, and neurological symptoms. Xeroderma pigmentosum is caused by a gene change (mutation) inherited from your parents. There is no cure for XP, but treatment can reduce the risk of skin cancer and other complications.
