Message definition (Enzyme)
Another way enzyme malfunctions can cause disease comes from [[germline mutation]]s in genes coding for [[DNA repair]] enzymes. Defects in these enzymes cause cancer because cells are less able to repair mutations in their [[genome]]s. This causes a slow accumulation of mutations and results in the [[carcinogenesis|development of cancers]]. An example of such a hereditary [[cancer syndrome]] is [[xeroderma pigmentosum]], which causes the development of [[skin cancer]]s in response to even minimal exposure to [[ultraviolet light]].
