Abstract excerpt
Werner syndrome is a disorder characterized by a premature aging phenotype. The disease is caused by mutations in the WRN gene which encodes a DNA helicase/exonuclease which is involved in multiple aspects of DNA metabolism. Current methods mostly rely on radiometric techniques to assess WRN exonuclease activity. Here we present an alternative, quantitative approach based on non-radioactive isotope dilution mass...
