Progeria is a condition which causes the body to experience the process of aging at a much faster rate than usual. The very name‚ with Greek roots‚ means “prematurely old”. The most common form of Progeria is Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria‚ though several other variations‚ called progeroid diseases‚ also occur (4). The disease is so rare that as of September 2016‚ only 139 children were known to be living with Progeria (1). When a baby is born with Progeria‚ it is unlikely that anyone would suspect

Hutchinson-Gilford Disease (Progeria) Only one in every four million kids is known to be diagnosed with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome‚ or most commonly known as Progeria syndrome or “Aging disease.” Progeria syndrome was first founded in 1886 by Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson and by Dr. Hastings Gilford in 1904. Progeria Syndrome is extremely rare and newborns appear to be normal at birth until the first year when the first signs of symptoms begin to appear. Since first found‚ only 130 cases have

Hutchinson-Gilford Syndrome‚ commonly referred to as progeria‚ is a disease that has this effect on a significant amount of children around the world. Although there are many different forms of progeria‚ Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome is the classic type. The name progeria comes from Greek origin and means “prematurely old”. Those who suffer from this disease take on the effects of early aging. Although their bodies begin to age early in life‚ children with progeria maintain an intelligence level that is

Progeria‚ otherwise known as Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome is an extremely rare‚ generic childhood disorder with reported incidence of about one in a million. Hutchinson has reported the syndrome in 1886 when he found the first patient with Progeria. In 1904 Gilford described a second case of Progeria‚ thus creating the term to reflect the syndrome ’s senile features. There are only about a hundred reported cases since the disorder has been discovered over a century ago. Currently‚ there are

Progeria Progeria‚ also known as HGPS (Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome)‚ is a very rare genetic condition. The word Progeria comes from the Greek “progeros” meaning ’prematurely old’. HGPS was named after Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson‚ who first described the disease in 1886‚ and Dr. Hastings Gilford who also discovered it in 1904 (Nordqvist‚ C. (2015‚ April 08). The most frequent type of progeria syndrome is Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. It’s a rare and terminal genetic disorder. Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch

Progeria‚ also known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome‚ is a rare‚ fatal genetic condition causing visible appearances of accelerated aging in children. This affects children and makes them look as if they have aged too quickly as well as other characteristics. But when was the first case of this rare disease discovered? And how did they overcome it? Doctors Jonathan Hutchinson (1828 – 1913) and Hastings Gilford (1861 – 1941) were the very first doctors to discover this disease in 1897
Premium Progeria
Progeria is known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS). Progeria is a mutation that occurs within your genes. This disorder is extremely rare but fatal. In the gene Lamin A is the mutated protein gene. LMNA is responsible for giving instructions to make the protein Lamin A within the cell. This protein‚ Lamin A‚ is necessary for holding the center of a cell together‚ known as the nucleus (Progeria Research Foundation). The failure of LMNA results in making all the cells destabilized.

Its name is derived from the Greek and means “prematurely old.” There are different forms of Progeria‚ but we will be looking at the classic form that was named after the doctors who first discovered it‚ Dr. Jonathon Hutchinson in 1886 and Dr. Hastings Gilford in 1897.
