What is early aging disorder?
Progeria (pro-JEER-e-uh), also known as Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome, is an extremely rare, progressive genetic disorder that causes children to age rapidly, starting in their first two years of life. Children with progeria generally appear normal at birth.
What causes progeria?
Progeria is caused by a mutation (change) in the lamin A (LMNA) gene. This gene makes a protein that holds the nucleus of a cell together. Because of the change in the gene, the protein becomes defective. This makes the nucleus unstable, which is believed to cause the premature aging process.
What do progeria babies look like?
They develop a characteristic facial appearance including prominent eyes, a thin nose with a beaked tip, thin lips, a small chin, and protruding ears. Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome also causes hair loss (alopecia), aged-looking skin, joint abnormalities, and a loss of fat under the skin (subcutaneous fat).
