  Werner syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Werner syndrome is a very rare, autosomal recessive disorder whose most recognizable characteristic is premature aging.
For this reason, Werner syndrome is often referred to as a progeroid syndrome, as it partly mimics the symptoms of Progeria.
Werner syndrome is named after Otto Werner, a German student who described the syndrome as part of his doctoral thesis in 1904.

 Werner syndrome
Werner syndrome is a premature aging disease that begins in adolescence or early adulthood and results in the appearance of old age by 30-40 years of age.
The gene for Werner disease (WRN) was mapped to chromosome 8 and cloned: by comparing its sequence to existing sequences in GenBank, it is a predicted helicase belonging to the RecQ family.
The molecular role of WRN in Werner syndrome therefore remains to be proven, as does any role it might have in the aging process in general.

 Kenny Werner Trio Review
One of Werner's major contributions to the art is his ability to carefully weave several "threads" of motific development throughout a tune, keeping each one independent, yet making all sound integral to the form and/or melody of the tune.
Werner breaths a different life into the tune, playing it in a bright, but laid-back, three but then doing some overt time overlays, at one point breaking into a very bright, burning 4/4 for a few minutes.
Werner puts his own thing into these tunes in a way which I think Bill would have really dug if he were alive today; perhaps in the same way that Bill put new life into the tune "Quiet Now" by Denny Zeitlin.
