It is however later said that Solid Snakes body, created as a genetically engineered clone, had been designed to break down quickly.In season 3 episode 9, "The Ballad of Kevin and Tess", of the TV series The 4400, Kevin is said to have Werner syndrome to hide his real condition from the public.In The Invisible Man season 1 episode 6, "Impetus", the new character Gloria has an experimentally altered type of Werner syndrome that causes it to become contagious.The central character in Gail Tsukiyamas novel DREAMING WATER (2002) has Werners syndrome.In season 1 episode 8 "Cold Comfort" from TV series Dark Angel, a character has a "form of progeria, similar to Werner syndrome", due to genetic manipulation. With an appropriate treatment, her condition seems to be stabilized.In Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016), the deadly "T-Virus", which causes the viral pandemic in the Resident Evil film series, is revealed to be the cure for "adult progeria". James Marcus originally develops the virus to cure his young daughter Alicia Marcus.Ratsasan (2018), a Tamil movie (as well as its Telugu remake Rakshasudu), features a young man born with Werners and is a victim of childhood bullying due to his appearance and has bad experience proposing to a girl, who turns into serial killer and hunts down and kills school girls.

Werner Syndrome from GeneReviews, contains extensive information on the disorder
Type I: Most common variety (80-90%) involving saccular or fusiform dilatation of a portion or entire common bile duct (CBD) with normal intrahepatic duct. Type II: These cysts are present as an isolated diverticulum protruding from the CBD. Type III or Choledochocele: Arise from dilatation of duodenal portion of CBD or where pancreatic duct meets. Type IVa: Characterized by multiple dilatations of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary tree. Type IVb:  Multiple dilatations involving only the extrahepatic bile ducts. Type V: Cystic dilatation of intrahepatic biliary ducts without extrahepatic duct disease. The presence of multiple saccular or cystic dilations of the intrahepatic ducts is known as Carolis disease. Type VI: An isolated cyst of the cystic duct is an extremely rare lesion. Only single case reports are documented in the literature. The most accepted classification system of biliary cysts, the Todani classification, does not include this lesion. Cholecystectomy with cystic duct ligation near the common bile duct is curative. Treatment
Choledochal cysts are treated by surgical excision of the cyst with the formation of a roux-en-Y anastomosis hepaticojejunostomy/ choledochojejunostomy to the biliary duct. Future complications include cholangitis and a 2% risk of malignancy, which may develop in any part of the biliary tree. A recent article published in the Journal of Surgery suggested that choledochal cysts could also be treated with single-incision laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy with comparable results and less scarring.
