XP-B and XP-F were not identified. Median patient age at diagnosis was 9\u2005years (interquartile range 2\u201319), although this varied significantly according to complementation group, with XP-D and XP-V diagnoses occurring later. Genetic analyses revealed 30 novel variants, including one in a patient with XP\/Cockayne syndrome complex. Despite the link of XP-D to neurological degeneration, none of the patients showed neuropathy, while three patients with XP-E had neurological involvement. Notably, 26% (n = 18) of patients reported no consanguinity, yet a significant proportion (n = 11\/18) had distant family members with XP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We found unique clinical patterns and diversity among complementation groups in Turkish patients with XP.
