Abstract excerpt
Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by prematurely aged appearance. Genetic linkage analysis has placed the relevant gene in subchromosomal band 8p12. DNA polymerase beta gene has been mapped to chromosome 8p12-11 and thought to be involved in DNA repair and possibly in recombination. Somatic cells from WS patients exhibit chromosomal instability, a markedly reduced...
