GlossaryHutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome

rare genetic disorder causing rapid aging in children

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by rapid aging in children, typically becoming apparent within the first two years of life. It is caused by a mutation in the LMNA gene, which leads to the production of an abnormal protein called progerin, resulting in cellular instability and the accelerated aging process.
