Here we present the results of a search for a region that exhibits linkage disequilibrium with the disorder, under the assumption that identification of such a region may provide an alternative method of narrowing down the location of WRN, the gene responsible for WS.

Second, the monitoring of the telomere length of both normal and WRN cell strains during the culture period suggests that the WRN gene mutation causes abnormal dynamics of the telomere: (1) a significant proportion of WRN cell strains showed drastic shortening or lengthening of telomere lengths during cell passages compared with normal cell strains, and (2) WRN cell strains terminated their life-span at a wide range of telomere length (between 3.5 and 18.5 Kbp), whereas normal cell strains terminated within a narrow telomere length range (between 5.5 and 9 Kbp).

Our results suggest that the hypersensitivity to 4NQO and the extensive deletion mutations observed in the WS cell line are caused by a defect that is secondary to the WRN gene mutation, possibly a repair gene defect that controls the phenotypes of hypersensitivity to carcinogen(s) and/or the extensive deletion mutations.

The association of an exonuclease with WRN distinguishes it from other RecQ homologs and raises the possibility that the distinct phenotypic characteristics of WS may be due in part to a defective exonuclease.
