| He said about one patient with progeria is born each year in the United States. |
|
| In the past few months, scientists have discovered genes connected to such devastating disorders as progeria and Lou Gehrig's Disease. |
|
| It is impossible to predict how soon our findings will translate into treatments for children suffering from progeria. |
|
| Hutchinson-Gilford progeria was discovered in 1886 by Jonathan Hutchinson. |
|
| A few individuals with progeria are intellectually disabled, but most have normal intelligence and may even be precocious. |
|
| He died from complications of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, commonly known as progeria. |
|
| Initially, progeria was studied as a model of normal aging, but because not all organs are affected, this is no longer thought to be appropriate. |
|
| The lifespan of a man suffering from progeria averages about 12 years and 8 months. |
|
| There is a disorder called progeria which is a genetic condition wherein symptoms of aging are manifested at an early age. |
|
| It ranges from dilated cardiomyopathy, dermatopathy, osteoskeletal dysplasia and lipodistrophy, to more general progeroid syndromes including atypical Werner syndrome and Hutchinson Gilford progeria. |
|
| These disorders include the premature aging disorders Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome and mandibuloacral dysplasia, as well as restrictive dermopathy. |
|
| A third condition, Hallerman-Streiff-François syndrome, is characterized by the presence of progeria in combination with dwarfism and other features of abnormal growth. |
|
| Those born with progeria have short telomere by nature. |
|
| Highlights of the meeting included the presentation of Genzyme's trial for Pompe's disease, PTC's trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and the announcement of the upcoming clinical protocol for progeria by N. Levy. |
|
| The show picks up the 13-year-old's story as she deals with progeria, a rare condition causing old age. |
|
| His recent movie, Paa, on the fatal disease progeria, won him critical acclaim. |
|
| The show picks up the 13-year-old's story as she deals with progeria, an incredibly rare condition that causes signs of old age in young children. |
|
| It was used in experiments on children suffering from a rare genetic condition called Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome where ageing is accelerated. |
