Progeria is a specific type of progeroid syndrome, also known as Hutchinson–Gilford syndrome or Hutchinson–Gilford progeroid syndrome (HGPS). [8] A single gene mutation is responsible for causing progeria. The affected gene, known as lamin A (LMNA), makes a protein necessary for holding the cell nucleus together.

2 Μαΐ 2023 · Progeria (pro-JEER-e-uh), also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, is an extremely rare, progressive genetic disorder. It causes children to age rapidly, starting in their first two years of life. Children with progeria generally appear healthy at birth.
5 Σεπ 2022 · Progeria is also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) or the “Benjamin Button” disease (named after the short story and movie ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’). It’s a rare...
One of the main causes of progeroid syndromes are genetic mutations, which lead to defects in the cellular processes which repair DNA. The DNA damage theory of aging proposes that aging is a consequence of the accumulation of naturally occurring DNA damages.
2 Μαΐ 2023 · Current research seeks to understand progeria and identify new treatment options. Some areas of research include: Studying genes and the course of the condition to understand how it progresses. This may help identify new treatments. Studying ways to prevent heart and blood vessel disease.
