Meanwhile, more and more genes involved in the aging process are giving up their secrets. At the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Seattle, a group led by molecular geneticist Gerard Schellenberg has identified the human gene responsible for the disorder known as Werner's syndrome. People suffering from Werner's start life normally, but by the time they reach their 20s begin a process of eerily accelerated aging, exhibiting such ailments as heart disease, osteoporosis and atherosclerosis. Typically they die by their late...
...Schellenberg's work is noteworthy not only because he found the gene behind such misery, but because he knows how it works. The genetic sequence he discovered codes for the enzyme helicase, which is responsible for unzipping the DNA double helix before it replicates. If this unzipping is disrupted, helicase can't tweeze out mutations that randomly occur and instead allows them to pass through to the next cellular generation. Accumulate enough glitches, and diseases of aging develop. "We know that DNA is being damaged at a high rate," he says. "Knowing that a helicase is responsible gets us closer...

Unfortunately, it is also inept at times. But at least she remembers her lines, which is more than Schellenberg and Robinson...
