Stopped: Inclusion of the last patient
Topic of this work is the involvement of replicative helicases in human premature ageing syndrome. Replicative helicases are ubiquitous and essential during numerous reactions of the DNA metabolism. The family of replicative helicases (RecQL) is involved in the replication/repair of the DNA and in the telomere maintenance. There are 5 enzymes in human and 3 of them are involved in clinically recognizable syndromes: WRN for the Werner syndrome, BLM for the Bloom syndrome and RECQL4 for the Rothmund Thomson syndrome. All are responsive of a high cancer risk due to genomic instability. Molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in these diseases of ageing are unknown. Moreover, for all of them, there is not therapeutic or preventive solution.
