Abstract excerpt
Werner syndrome (WS) is an autosomal recessive disease that predisposes individuals to a wide range of cancers. The gene mutated in WS, WRN, encodes a member of the RecQ family of DNA helicases. The precise DNA metabolic processes in which WRN participates remain to be elucidated. However, it has been proposed that WRN might play an important role in the maintenance of genetic stability during DNA replication,...
