  1. cockayne syndrome By Logan Johnson

  2. Causes of cockayne syndrome • Cockayne syndrome happens because of mutation to the CSB gene or the CSA gene. • CSB and CSA genes are proteins associated with DNA/RNA repair. • DNA can be damaged by ultraviolet rays, toxic chemicals, radiation, and unstable molecules (free radicals.) • CSA and the CSB gene could fix these problems before they get worse but cockayne syndrome makes these repair genes unable and then to many cell problems come about and they die off.

  3. Symptoms of cockayne syndrome • Symptoms include small stature, premature ageing, small heads, impaired development of the nervous system, severe sensitivity of sunlight (photosensitivity), hearing loss, eye abnormalities, severe tooth decay, bone abnormalities, and brain changes.
