Gene expression and DNA repair in progeroid syndromes and human aging.
Ageing research reviews - 1 Nov 2005

Abstract excerpt
Human progeroid syndromes are caused by mutations in single genes accelerating some but not all features of normal aging. Most progeroid disorders are linked to defects in genome maintenance, and while it remains unknown if similar processes underlie normal and premature aging, they provide useful models for the study of aging. Altered transcription is speculated to play a causative role in aging, and is involved...
