Further study of lamin A will hopefully answer why mutations in this gene cause such striking premature aging. Progeria results in rapid aging of children, beginning with

    Extractions: NIH/National Human Genome Research Institute [Boston, MA – April 16, 2003] – The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF), along with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced the discovery of the gene that causes Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS or Progeria), a rare, fatal genetic condition characterized by an appearance of accelerated aging in children. "Isolating the Progeria gene is a major achievement for the medical research community," said Francis Collins, MD, PhD, director, National Human Genome Research Institute and the senior author on the report, which appears today in Nature. "The discovery not only gives hope to children and families affected by Progeria, but also may shed light on the phenomenon of aging and cardiovascular disease." Children with Progeria die from complications of cardiovascular disease or arteriosclerosis at an average age of 13. Researchers now believe finding the gene that causes Progeria may lead to answers surrounding the natural aging process and cardiovascular disease. Heart disease and stroke are the first and third leading causes of death in the United States, accounting for more than 40 percent of all deaths. Within just one year of beginning the research, a group of leading scientists from the PRF Genetics Consortium were able to isolate the Progeria gene. Key aspects of the finding include the fact that Progeria is not inherited and that mutations to the gene LMNA (Lamin A) cause Progeria. The Lamin A protein is the structural scaffolding that holds the nucleus together and has been studied for years. Researchers now believe that the defective Lamin A protein makes the nucleus unstable. That cellular instability leads to the process of premature aging in Progeria.

    Extractions: Progeria Research Foundation [Boston, MA – June 8, 2004] – Researchers today announced that a mutation of the Lamin A gene gradually causes devastating effects on cellular structure and function in children with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS or Progeria). The study was published in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Progeria is a rare, fatal genetic condition characterized by an appearance of accelerated aging in children. "Although it is a rare disease, Progeria has long been considered to be a model for studying the mechanisms responsible for normal aging" said lead author Robert D. Goldman, Ph.D., Stephen Walter Ranson Professor and Chair, Cell and Molecular Biology, Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine. "This study highlights the importance of the Lamin A gene in the maintenance of cell structure and function." In April 2003, a team of researchers assembled by The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF), and including the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), one of the 27 institutes and centers that make up the National Institutes of Health (NIH), announced the discovery of the gene that causes Progeria. That study, published in the April 16th 2003 issue of Nature, found that the disease is not inherited, but instead is caused by chance mutations to the LMNA gene (Lamin A). The Lamin A protein is the structural scaffolding that holds the nucleus together, and is involved in gene expression and DNA replication.

    Extractions: SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER Dr. Leslie Gordon of Tufts University School of Medicine was ecstatic the day she heard researchers had found the gene mutation that causes progeria for an instant. Then she thought: But that's not a cure. And it's a cure she's after. Gordon and her pediatrician husband, Scott Berns, who are the founders and force behind the Massachusetts-based Progeria Research Foundation, have an extra motivation for researching the disease. Their son Sampson, 7, was born with it. The two started the foundation in 1998 to catalyze the search for a treatment. "There was nothing going on," she said. Although the disease had long been considered a model for studying aging, no one was doing it because it was so rare, and there was no central repository for blood and tissue samples to facilitate research. In the century since it was first described, fewer than 100 papers had been written on the subject, she said. And the National Institutes of Health, a prime driver of basic medical research, had no money invested in it.

    Extractions: Full review Hi and thanks for reading this review on the little girl Hayley Okines and her condition Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome. Possibly some people would have watched the television programme last night on channel 5 (09-05-05) If you did or did not please read on. Hayley Okines is a little princess aged 7, she lives in the UK with her family the only difference is that Hayley suffers from a condition called Progeria. Progeria Is an extremely rare genetic disease that accelerates the aging process about seven times the normal rate. So what does that mean, It means a child who is aged 10 and they are a sufferer of this rare condition will have similar respiratory, cardiovascular and arthritic conditions of a 70 year old would have. The condition Progeria only affects between 1 in 8 million (reported) children. There are only between 30 and 40 reported cases of Progeria worldwide to date.

    Extractions: CHAPTER FIVE Human Genetic Diseases That Mimic the Aging Process Genetic Syndromes in Man with Potential Relevance to the Pathobiology of Aging. His analysis of the existing medical and scientific literature had suggested that as many as seven thousand human genes might be involved in the degenerative processes associated with aging, but he concluded that probably no more than seventy, and perhaps as few as seven, of these genes controlled processes in the body that have a major impact on senescence. He excluded from consideration genes encoding specific diseases that might cause death either early or late in life; although death is clearly the endpoint of senescence, Martin was more interested in the process of senescence, as defined by studies in both animals and humans. One of the major conclusions Martin was able to reach as a result of his analysis was that although aging-like symptoms can be found in a number of different genetic diseases, no single disease can be said to mimic completely all of the known parameters of the human aging process. There is no single "aging gene" that determines human lifespan and regulates human senescence. Nevertheless, Martin identified ten well-known genetic diseases in which there was an accelerated progression of a large number of distinct aging traits (Table 5-1). Because each of these diseases involves only certain aspects of the aging process, he called them segmental progerias ; progeria is a Greek term meaning "early aging." Seven of these disorders are known or presumed single-gene defects; three are

Whole Life Insurance is permanent life insurance protection for your entire life, usually to age 100. A Whole Life policy is contractually guaranteed not to lapse, provided that you pay sufficient premiums each year to keep the policy in force. Besides permanent lifetime insurance protection, Whole Life Insurance features a savings element that allows you to build cash value on a tax-deferred basis. A portion of the premiums you pay build up the savings element of the policy and are invested by the company. The interest rate return on your investment is added to the savings portion of the policy. This is how the policy builds cash value. In addition to crediting your policy with interest, "participating" policies issued by mutual insurance companies may also give you the opportunity to earn dividends. Dividends are a NON-guaranteed return of part of the premium intended to reflect a company’s favorable operating experience.
