Genetic Diseases Involved with Pathiobiology of Aging

There are a number of genetic diseases, enzymes and genes which seem to be involved in aging. Progeria and Werner Syndrome show characteristics of accelerated aging. Xeroderma Pigmentosum and Cockayne syndrome show defects in the nucleotide exicision repair pathway for DNA damage, particularly that caused by ultraviolet radiation. Other diseases such as Ataxia-Telangiectasia and Bloom syndrome show increased cancer rates usually because of excessive sensitivity to chromsome breakage. Pointers to the references from the Online Mendelian Inheritance of Man (OMIM) are as follows:

1. Autosomal Dominant


2. Autosomal Recessives


3.Intrinsic Mutagenesis" Hypothesis of Aging

4.Increased Frequencies of Nonconstitutional Chromosomal Aberrations.
