Werner syndrome: Clinical features, pathogenesis and potential therapeutic interventions.

Ageing research reviews - 1 Jan 2017

Oshima Junko, Sidorova Julia M, Monnat Raymond J

Abstract excerpt

Werner syndrome (WS) is a prototypical segmental progeroid syndrome characterized by multiple features consistent with accelerated aging. It is caused by null mutations of the WRN gene, which encodes a member of the RECQ family of DNA helicases. A unique feature of the WRN helicase is the presence of an exonuclease domain in its N-terminal region. Biochemical and cell biological studies during the past decade...
