Ekscizijska popravka unakrsne komplementarne reparacije glodara, komplementacijska grupa 5 (xeroderma pigmentosum, komplementacijska grupa G) uključena je u ekscizijsku popravku oštećenja DNK izazvane UV zračenjem. Mutacije uzrokuju Cockayneov sindrom, koji se karakterizira teškim defektima rasta, mentalnom retardacijom i kaheksijom. Opisano je više alternativno prerađenih varijanti transkripta koje kodiraju različite izoforme, ali biološka valjanost svih varijanti nije utvrđena.[6]
Mutacijski defekti gena Ercc5(Xpg) mogu uzrokovati stanje sklono karcinomuxeroderma pigmentosum (XP) samostalno ili u kombinaciji s teškim neurorazvojnim poremećajem Cockayneov sindrom (CS) ili infantilnim smrtonosnim cerebro-okulo-facio-skeletnim sindromom.[8]
Ograničenje u ishrani, koje produžava životni vijek miševa divljeg tipa, također je značajno produžilo životni vijek Ercc5(Xpg) mutantnih miševa.[9] Ograničenje ishrane mutantnih miševa, dok je odlagalo starenje, također je usporilo akumulaciju oštećenja DNK u čitavom genomu i očuvalo transkripcioni izlaz, doprinoseći tako poboljšanoj vitalnosti ćelija.
