[edit] Comment

this disease would suck —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 164.68.181.1 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Symptoms?

Why are no symptoms found on this page? Sure, skin cancer... but that's not the only symptom. Do people with XP have any reactions to sunlight like burning of the skin, getting dizzy, etc? Surely there must be a source somewhere that gives some actual useful information to the common, everyday person. Vancar 16:43, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

And article should mention about not being able to watch television, sit in front of computer monitors? Tempshill 04:43, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I don't think the merger makes very much sense; presumably the enzyme is involved in more than this disease. -- Visviva 07:28, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree, Against merge. According to the XPB page, this isn't the only disorder that can arise from it... thence, it can't be merged to this page alone. 24.126.199.129 08:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect?

Why is there a redirect from Sun Allergy to this page? 83.70.41.4 10:55, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
