Werner's Syndrome Associated with Spastic Paraparesis and Peripheral Neuropathy
Neurol 43:1252-1254, Umehara,F.,et al, 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A Werner's syndrome patient with spastic paraparesis and polyneuropathy had slowing of central and peripheral nerve conduction.Sural nerve biopsy revealed a significantly higher frequency of demyelination and remyelination and a loss of myelinated fibers.These data suggest that the central and peripheral nervous systems are affected in Werner's syndrome.
