About Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome

Progeria, or Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), is rare, fatal genetic disorder manifesting as accelerated ageing. Early infancy appears normal, but growth delays occur around 9-24 months, causing short stature and low weight. Distinctive facial features emerge small face, an underdeveloped jaw, prominent eyes, a small nose, and blueness around the mouth. Hair loss follows, and arteries thicken prematurely, leading to cardiovascular issues. By age 14.5, heart disease claims lives. Like ageing adults, progeria patients face high blood pressure, strokes, angina, heart enlargement, and failure.
