Werner's syndrome

Patent Granted Werner syndrome (WS), also known as "adult progeria",[1] is a rare, autosomal recessive[2][3][4] progeroid syndrome (PS), which is characterized by the appearance of premature aging.[4] Werner syndrome is named after the German scientist Otto Werner.[5] He identified the syndrome in four siblings observed with premature aging, which he explored as the subject of his dissertation of 1904.
