Researchers have determined that Werner Syndrome is caused by abnormal changes (mutations) of a gene (known as the WRN gene) located on the short arm of chromosome 8 (8p12-11.2).* More than 80 different mutations of the WRN gene have been identified in individuals with the disorder.ymptoms of the following disorders can be similar to those of Werner Syndrome. Comparisons may be useful for a differential diagnosis: Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome is a very rare disorder of childhood characterized by premature aging, short stature, and characteristic facial features.
Type I spinal muscular atrophy (also called Werdnig-Hoffman disease) is a severe form of the disorder that is evident at birth or within the first few months of life. Affected infants are developmentally delayed; most are unable to support their head or sit unassisted.MA-LED and the late-onset form of spinal muscular atrophy caused by VAPB gene mutations are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. X-linked spinal muscular atrophy is inherited in an X-linked pattern.
