Abstract excerpt

Werner's syndrome is a premature aging syndrome with many features common to normal aging. The possible association between phenotypic markers for normal aging and SNP's in the WRN gene was investigated in 426 dizygotic, Danish twins age 70-90 years. All participants were scored every second year using a number of physical and cognitive tests. In addition their self-rated health was registered as well as self...
