Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Progeria is a rare condition that is remarkable because its symptoms strongly resemble normal human aging, but occur in young children. In addition, the appearance of several affected children in movies and on television have brought progeria to public attention. Ninety percent of children with progeria have a mutation on the gene that encodes the protein lamin A. Progeria usually occurs sporadically, and is not seen in siblings of affected children, although in very rare circumstances more than one child in a family can have progeria. Progeria results in rapid aging of a child, beginning with

Is there a test for progeria? NHGRI Clinical Research on Progeria ... Additional Resources for Progeria Information What do we know about heredity and progeria? Progeria is an extremely rare genetic disease of childhood characterized by dramatic, premature aging. The condition, which derives its name from "geras," the Greek word for old age, is estimated to affect one in 8 million newborns worldwide. The most severe form of the disease is Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, recognizing the efforts of Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, who first described the disease in 1886, and Dr. Hastings Gilford who did the same in 1904. As newborns, children with progeria usually appear normal. However, within a year, their growth rate slows and they soon are much shorter and weigh much less than others their age. While possessing normal intelligence, affected children develop a distinctive appearance characterized by baldness, aged-looking skin, a pinched nose, and a small face and jaw relative to head size. They also often suffer from symptoms typically seen in much older people: stiffness of joints, hip dislocations and severe, progressive cardiovascular disease. However, various other features associated with the normal aging process, such as cataracts and osteoarthritis, are not seen in children with progeria.

Progeria FAQ What is it? Progeria is commonly referred to as an "early aging disease." Although whether early aging actually occurs or whether this is a disease with many symptoms that look like aging is debated. It is also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), named after Jonathan Hutchinson, who first described the disease in 1886 and Hastings Gilford (1904), who was the first to refer to the disease as progeria ( National Library of Medicine, Progeria ). It is fortunately an extremely rare disease. Only somewhat more then 100 cases have been reported since it was discovered, and is estimated to affect only 1 to 2 children in 8 million. It is, however, a particularly tragic disease in that it typically strikes children before the age of 10 years, who then usually die before their teens. Patients have some characteristics of aging such as baldness, a pinched nose, delayed tooth formation, stiffness of joints, hip dislocations, cardiovascular problems, arteriosclerosis, wrinkled/aged-looking skin, and a premature cessation of growth (dwarfism). They do not, however, typically show other characteristics of aging such as Alzheimer's disease, and arthritis of the hips in these patients is a result of having been born with dislocated hips, not as an aging process. Werner syndrome is a similar appearing disease, but it strikes people in their late teens. These patients may live until their 40s. Symptoms include scaly changes, especially in the extremities, cataracts, subcutaneous calcification, premature arteriosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and wizened and prematurely aged facial features (
