Symptoms+&+Why

__**Symptoms of Werner Syndrome:**__ At first people with Werner's Syndrome do not have any symptoms. They develop normally, up until adolescence. This is when things in their body start changing, and since Werner's syndrome has mutations in the Werner gene, this can trigger problems that normally would not exist. The Werner gene controls DNA separation and if there is a mistake in separating the DNA, then there could be mutations in the new DNA; this would cause any abnormal physical features such as looking older than the person already is. //(rarediseases.about.com)//
