    TLDR Consider Werner syndrome in young patients with early aging signs and metabolic issues.
    Werner syndrome (WS) was described as a rare genetic disorder characterized by premature aging and various metabolic disorders, typically manifesting in the second to third decades of life. The document detailed a case of a 27-year-old female who exhibited early onset symptoms, including global hair loss, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and several congenital deformities. Despite intensive treatment, she experienced severe insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia. The case highlighted the importance of considering WS in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia early in childhood, due to its association with multiple endocrine and soft tissue changes.
