Overview

Werner Syndrome (WRN) is a very rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the appearance of premature aging.

Werner's syndrome more closely resembles accelerated aging than any other segmental progeria. For this reason, Werner syndrome is often referred to as a progeroid syndrome, as it partly mimics the symptoms of Progeria.
