Ten to 15% of patients initially diagnosed with WS displayed mutations neither in WRN nor in LMNA. A subset of them presented with mandibular hypoplasia, deafness, and progeroid features (MDPL syndrome) and heterozygous mutations in the polymerase delta 1 (POLD1) gene (Weedon et al., 2013). Here, LMNA is linked to Werner syndrome.
