AbstractIntroduction Werner protein (WRN) plays an important role in DNA repair, replication, transcription, and consequently genomic stability via its DNA-helicase exonuclease activity. Loss of function WRN is associated with syndrome (WS), which characterized by premature aging cancer predisposition. Malignancies that are commonly linked to WS thyroid carcinoma, melanoma, br...
