Popis: Adult progeria Werner syndrome (WS), a rare autosomal recessive disorder, is characterized by accelerated aging symptoms after puberty. The causative gene, WRN, is a member of the RecQ DNA helicase family and is predominantly involved in DNA replication, repair, and telomere maintenance. Here, we report the generation of iPS cells from a patient with WS and correction of the WRN gene by the CRISPR/Cas9-mediated method. These iPSC lines would be a valuable resource for deciphering the pathogenesis of WS.
