Progeria By Brent J

Some information Progeria is associated with a short lifespan. The average patient survives to the early teens. However, some patients can live up to 30 years.

symptoms of the progeria This syndrome occurs in about 1 in 8 million children. At birth, a child with Hutchinson- Gilford progeria appears normal. Head and face: baldness, prominent scalp veins and eyes, small jaw, delayed tooth formation.

Causes of progeria Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a childhood disorder caused by mutations in one of the major architectural proteins of the cell nucleus. Because these "accelerated aging" diseases display different aspects of aging but never every aspect, they are often called "segmental progeria.

Diagnosis Diagnosis is suspected according to signs and symptoms, such as skin changes, abnormal growth, and loss of hair. It can be confirmed through a genetic test.

Prognosis There is no known cure. Few people with progeria exceed 13 years of age. At least 90% of patients die from complications of atherosclerosis, such as heart attacks or strokes.

This is a child that has progeria she is a young girl that had gotten it at a early age.

Little boy who was diagnosed in March 2007 at 5 months of age. His family and friends have created PRF’s Southwest Michigan chapter, with lots of exciting events to raise awareness and funds for Progeria research. To help them selves and others.
