“…Moreover, many human homologous genes were identified in yeast as having roles in genetic instability, cancer progression, and accelerated aging [122]. For instance, mandibular hypoplasia, deafness, progeroid features, and lipodystrophy (MDPL) syndrome is a Werner-like progeroid syndrome characterized by osteoporosis, loss of hearing, early onset of diabetes, lipodystrophy, accelerated aging and steatosis [123].
