NIH Rare Diseases: Werner's syndrome is a disease chiefly characterized by premature aging and cancer predisposition. Development is typically normal until the end of the first decade; the first sign is the lack of a growth spurt during puberty. Early signs (usually in the 20s) include loss and graying of hair, hoarseness, and scleroderma-like skin changes, followed by cataracts, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypogonadism, skin ulcers, and osteoporosis in the 30s. Myocardial infarction (heart attack) and cancer are the most common causes of death, which typically occurs in the late 40s. It is caused by mutations in the WRN gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Management focuses on treatment of signs and symptoms and prevention of secondary complications.30
MalaCards: Werner Syndrome, also known as werner syndrome (disorder), is related to type 2 diabetes mellitus and atypical werner syndrome. An important gene associated with Werner Syndrome is WRN (Werner syndrome, RecQ helicase-like), and among its related pathways are Assembly of the RAD50-MRE11-NBS1 complex at DNA double-strand breaks and Telomere Extension by Telomerase. The compounds threonine and 8-oxoguanine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, liver and heart, and related mouse phenotypes are craniofacial and respiratory system. Genetics Home Reference: Werner syndrome is characterized by the dramatic, rapid appearance of features associated with normal aging. Individuals with this disorder typically grow and develop normally until they reach puberty. Affected teenagers usually do not have a growth spurt, resulting in short stature. The characteristic aged appearance of individuals with Werner syndrome typically begins to develop when they are in their twenties and includes graying and loss of hair; a hoarse voice; and thin, hardened skin. They may also have a facial appearance described as "bird-like." Many people with Werner syndrome have thin arms and legs and a thick trunk due to abnormal fat deposition.17 Wikipedia: Werner syndrome (WS, also known as \"adult progeria\") is a very rare, autosomal recessive disorder...44 more...
