Syndrome Patients Aging Process
1,511 wordsNowadays those involved in aging research view aging in terms of a genetic disease rather than as a natural, evolution-driven process by which the old make way for the young. A condition of aged friends and relatives seems terrible to conceive; they are afflicted with a ghastly wasting disease, a plague whose effects are inescapable because of our own genes.

This in turn could cause cells to function poorly, causing premature aging associated with Werner syndrome. If the DNA damage happened to inactivate tumor suppressor genes or active oncogenes, it might also cause cells to grow out of control and produce cancerous tumors. In fact, there is already evidence that a faulty helicase can cause cancers. Recently a team led by geneticist James German of the New York...
