WERNER SYNDROME

Alternate names

WERNER SYNDROME Is also known as ws, adult progeria

Description

Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare inherited syndrome characterized by premature aging with onset in the third decade of life and with cardinal clinical features including bilateral cataracts, short stature, graying and thinning of scalp hair, characteristic skin disorders and premature onset of additional age-related disorders.

Most common symptoms of WERNER SYNDROME

  • Short stature
  • Neoplasm
  • Pain
  • Cataract
  • Visual impairment
