title: [An atypical case of Werner syndrome: epigenetic control and DNA damage response alterations].
abstract: A case of adult progeria has been described. It has been suggested that this case is an atypical form of Werner syndrome with laminopathy--not WRN helicase-nuclease defect. During detailed studies of the patient's cells, epigenetic control and DNA damage response alterations were detected.
