WRN gene 1367 Arg allele protects against development of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 2005
Werner's syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutation of the WRN gene, which may lead to DNA repair failure and acceleration of aging. A polymorphism at amino acid 1367 Cys (TTG)/Arg (CTG) reportedly reduces the risk of myocardial infarction in Japanese. We studied the possible involvement of this polymorphism in type 2 diabetes.

Werner Syndrome: Characterization of Mutations in the WRN Gene in an Affected Family

open access: closedEuropean Journal of Human Genetics, 1997
Affected and unaffected members of a Caucasian family with Werner syndrome were analyzed for mutations in the recently described Werner syndrome (WRN) gene and for their relevance to phenotypic expression of chromosomal instability and x-ray hypersensitivity. Two distinct molecular alterations were documented in the family.

Impact of genetic variations in the WRN gene on age related pathologies and mortality

open access: closedMechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2006
Mutations in the WRN gene lead to the Werner syndrome (WS), which resembles premature aging. Here, we hypothesize that genetic variations in the WRN gene may also influence aging-trajectories in the population at large. To test this hypothesis, we assessed the impact of the i1-C/T, L1074F and C1367R polymorphisms in the WRN gene on the occurrence of ...

Werner syndrome ( WRN ) gene variants and their association with altered function and age-associated diseases

open access: closedAgeing Research Reviews, 2017
Werner syndrome (WS) is a heritable autosomal recessive human disorder characterized by the premature onset of several age-associated pathologies including cancer. The protein defective in WS patients, WRN, is encoded by a member of the human RECQ gene family that contains both a DNA exonuclease and a helicase domain.

A Novel Variant in the WRN Gene Detected in a Case of Early-Onset Severe Insulin Resistance Displaying Some but Not All Hallmarks of Progeroid Werner Syndrome

open access: closedDiabetes Care
OBJECTIVE Determining the cause of severe insulin resistance and early-onset diabetes in the case of a young woman in which a wide range of differential diagnoses did not apply. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Diagnostic workup including medical history,
