Progeria

Premature aging and premature aging are one of the least known genetic diseases. There are two types of progeria, the only difference being the age group that it affects. The Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome is commonly referred to as childhood progeria. The second type of premature aging is Werner's syndrome, which is adult type progeria. What basically happens with this disease is that the age is accelerated 7 times faster than usual. For example, in the case of Hutchinson - Guildford Progeria Syndrome, children may look like fifty years old at the age of five.

Premature aging is a very rare autosomal dominant disease and symptoms similar to aging appear at very young ages. Premature aging is one of several prostate syndromes. People born with premature aging usually live in their teens to early twenties. It is a genetic condition that occurs as a new mutation, and carriers are rarely inherited because they are not usually. The term premature aging applies strictly to all diseases characterized by premature aging symptoms and is often used in such diseases, but it is generally applied in particular to Hutchinson-Gilford early stage syndrome (HGPS) .

Otto Werner originally defined Werner's syndrome (WS) in 1904 based on scleroderma, thin, supple skin, and bilateral cataract. Williams syndrome is also known as progeria, premature aging and danger of adulthood. WS is the most common premature aging. Premature aging may also refer to Hutchinson - Guilford syndrome, which has been explained as a defect in the Lamin A gene and has been afflicted early in life. Premature aging comes from Greek and means "before gerontology". Please look at the picture below. The aging process involves errors in the mitotic machinery that divide the cells in the latter stages of life and hence WS serves as a model for studying the aging process in vivo and in vitro. However, many Williams syndrome patients experience early changes with age. Mental retardation was not observed

Though they seem to be healthy originally, children with premature begin to experience many of the characteristics of accelerated aging within the first two years of life. Symptoms of premature aging include growth disorders, body fat and hair loss, skin aging, joint stiffness, hip dislocation, systemic atherosclerosis, cardiovascular (heart) disease, stroke and so on. The ethnic background is different, but the appearance of the child is very similar. Premature infants die of atherosclerosis (heart disease), and the average age is 14 years old
