Sirtuin1 single nucleotide polymorphism (A2191G) is a diagnostic marker for vibration-induced white finger disease [PDF]
Clinical Epigenetics, 2012 Background Vibration-induced white finger disease (VWF), also known as hand-arm vibration syndrome, is a secondary form of Raynaud’s disease, affecting the blood vessels and nerves. So far, little is known about the pathogenesisof the disease.

Vasomotor oscillation in vibration-induced white finger.
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 1986 Vasomotor oscillation at different ambient temperatures, with and without anesthesia of the finger nerves, was studied in six persons with vibration-induced white finger (VWF) and in 10 referents. The power spectral density (PSD) of the Fourier transform of the laser-Doppler flowmeter signal from the finger pad vessels was analyzed. In both groups, the
