Cuidados SÍNDROME DE ENVEJECIMIENTO PREMATURO (Progeria, Síndrome de Hutchinson-Gilford) Esta enfermedad conocida médicamente como progeria o síndrome de Hutchinson-Gilford, es una patología rara en la cual un niño asume el aspecto de una persona anciana, mostrando además las degeneraciones físicas y las enfermedades que afectan a los ancianos. Un niño con este síndrome tiene un aspecto característico, descrito a veces como el de un "pájaro desplumado"; sin cejas ni pestañas, ojos relativamente pequeños y saltones, nariz en forma de pico y mentón retraído. Es bajo, delgado y deformado, tiene una cabeza grande y prematuramente calva o cubierta de canas. Su cara parece pequeña comparada con e cráneo y es relativamente ancha a la altura de la frente. Su cuerpo es pequeño o delgado y su cara, pecho, brazos y piernas son esqueléticos. Otros rasgos característicos incluyen pecho estrecho y abdomen abultado.

NHGRI Clinical Research on Progeria Additional Resources for Progeria Information What do we know about heredity and progeria? Progeria is an extremely rare genetic disease of childhood characterized by dramatic, premature aging. The condition, which derives its name from "geras," the Greek word for old age, is estimated to affect one in 8 million newborns worldwide. The most severe form of the disease is Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, recognizing the efforts of Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, who first described the disease in 1886, and Dr. Hastings Gilford who did the same in 1904. As newborns, children with progeria usually appear normal. However, within a year, their growth rate slows and they soon are much shorter and weigh much less than others their age. While possessing normal intelligence, affected children develop a distinctive appearance characterized by baldness, aged-looking skin, a pinched nose, and a small face and jaw relative to head size. They also often suffer from symptoms typically seen in much older people: stiffness of joints, hip dislocations and severe, progressive cardiovascular disease. However, various other features associated with the normal aging process, such as cataracts and osteoarthritis, are not seen in children with progeria.

Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms Learning About Progeria News Releases 2003 2003 Release Gene for Premature Aging Disorder Researchers Identify Gene for Premature Aging Disorder Progeria Gene Discovery May Help Solve Mysteries of Normal Aging WASHINGTON, D.C., April 16, 2003 - A team led by the National Human Genome Research Institute today announced the discovery of the genetic basis of a disorder that causes the most dramatic form of premature aging, a finding that promises to shed new light on the rare disease, as well as on normal human aging. In their study, to be released online next week in the journal Nature , researchers identified the genetic mutations responsible for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), commonly referred to as progeria. Derived from the Greek word for old age, "geras," progeria is estimated to affect one in 8 million newborns worldwide. There currently are no diagnostic tests or treatments for the progressive, fatal disorder. Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and leader of the research team, said, "This genetic discovery represents the first piece in solving the tragic puzzle of progeria. Without such information, we in the medical community were at loss about where to focus our efforts to help these children and their families. Now, we finally know where to begin."

Sorry, your browser doesn't suppor Java. Progeria Among the rarest people in the world are those with progeria, or accelerated aging disease. While leaving intelligence intact, progeria ages the body many times faster than normal, leaving teens with frail bodies of people nearing 100 years old. First described by Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson in 1886 and Dr. Hastings Gilford in 1904. Also known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disease . In this disease the aging process of the body accelerates much faster than what it does in normal humans. This process of aging gallops to about seven times the normal rate. Because of this accelerated aging, a child of ten years would have a look of 70 years old. He or she may also have similar respiratory, cardiovascular, and arthritic conditions that a 70-year-old would have. There is no cure for this disease. The exact cause is unknown, but it is believed due to a single abnormal (mutant) gene. Normally for each gene there are two copies, one from each parent. Progeria is considered to be the result of a

DONATE TOWARDS A DREAM! Progeria In 1981, the Sunshine Foundation had been in existence for six years and had h andled approximately 500 special dreams of seriously ill, chronically ill, and physically challenged children. It was brought to Sunshine's attention via a newspaper article that a young boy in South Africa, named Fransie, had a dream to visit Pinocchio. The inspiration for this dream came from this boy seeing himself in a mirror. Because of his wooden appearance, he felt in some way related to Pinocchio. Having read the article, Sunshine embarked on making yet another dream come true, unaware that this particular endeavor would bring about the knowledge of a very rare illness to the world. Fransie had his dream come true in December 1981. The Sunshine Foundation flew Fransie and his family to Disneyland where he saw Pinocchio. During his visit to the United States, three other children, also suffering from Progeria, met with him.

Researchers at Brunel University, west London, found how a mutated gene responsible for the condition works. It is hoped the discovery will help treatment for age-related conditions such as stroke and heart disease. The research will be published in Experimental Gerontology. Progeria affects about one in four million people. There are 40 known cases. The average life expectancy for someone with the condition is about 13 to 14 years old. Symptoms include baldness, aged-looking skin, dwarfism, and a small face and jaw relative to head size. Cell death Dr Ian Kill, at Brunel, told BBC News Online: "We study Progeria to understand the biological basis of normal ageing. "People with Progeria die from disease that old people suffer, primarily heart disease and stroke."

Lamin A is the name of the gene recently identified as causing some types of progeria. Lamin A codes for a protein that surrounds the nucleus of cells. Further study of lamin A will hopefully answer why mutations in this gene cause such striking premature aging. Progeria results in rapid aging of children, beginning with

Progeria An Introduction RICHLAND COLLEGE SPRING 2001 Class Project Web project members: Dina Hunter Katie Morgan Progeria is a rare genetic disease resulting in accelerated aging. The name stems from the Greek, and means "prematurely old" . Progeria occurs in two forms. Hutchinson -Gilford progeria syndrome was first described by English surgeons Jonathan Hutchinson in 1886 and by Hastings Gilford in 1904. It is known as the progeria of childhood and is usually diagnosed in the first or second year of life. Werner syndrome is commonly referred to as "progeria of the adult." It was first described in 1904 by general practitioner Otto Werner. Both conditions result in the appearance of symptoms, which normally occur in people who are seventy years of age or more("The Progeria Research Foundation"). Many Americans may recall seeing the children affected with Hutchinson-Gilford on television series, such as the Maury Povich Show, or perhaps, they may recall the news media reports in 1981 of the first meeting of two affected children. Wherever you may have seen these wonderful people it is hard not to notice their small stature, baldness, and aged looking skin. Despite their outward appearance, these children are happy, self-confident, and possess a spirit that serves as an example to all. The self-esteem and mental strength these children have is largely due to those who have dedicated their lives to research and to those who reach out to lend a helping hand.

The Genetics Of Progeria RICHLAND COLLEGE SPRING 2001 Class Project Web project members: Megan Gardner Lindsey Leger Stacie Stricklin Progeria has been determined to be genetic, that is, the disease is passed along during cell division in the formation of a fetus. The disease is not necessarily hereditary because parents of children with progeria are not affected, nor do they carry a gene for it. We know this because of recent analysis that has been done on the chromosomes of genes with people affected by progeria.There is an inverted insertion in the long arm of Chromosome 1 in 70% of the cells studied. This evidence suggests that the gene for progeria is located on Chromosome 1. The gene is not necessarily one that is passed down from parent to child, but rather is a normal chromosome contributed by each parent that mutates during cell division. That mutation is then replicated during subsequent divisions. The cause for this mutation is unknown. This mutation was first suggested to be autosomal recessive based on studies done between 1920 and 1960, however studies done in the 1970’s show the mutation is autosomal dominant. This finding means that the mutation occurs on only one of the two chromosomes in the pair, rather than on both chromosomes like a recessive mutation would suggest. It has been suggested that the gene for Werner’s Syndrome lies on Chromosome 8

Welcome to My Web Page on Progeria! I discovered my love for children with Progeria one night while watching the Discovery Channel. There was a special on children with Progeria, starring AshleyHegi and her mother Lori. It is a wonderful story of a child with a big heart, big smile, and lots of love to give, who has Progeria. What is Progeria? Progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, is a rare disease that causes children to age seven times faster than they are supposed to age. It was first discovered in 1886. Currently, there are only 36 children in the world with Progeria. These children go through their lives with serious defects, such as dwarfism, premature aging, and congestive heart failure. According to research that has been completed on this rare disease, the lifespan for children with Progeria ranges from 7 to 27.5 years. The average child with Progeria lives for 13 years. What are the physical signs? children are normal at birth growth stops at the end of the first year possibly a slow increase to the size of a 2 or 3 year old during their first decade total height possibility never exceeding the size of a 5 year old child dwarfism with premature senility relatively large head with a small face beaked nose receding chin prominent eyes cloudiness of cornea absence of eyebrows and lashes crowded, irregular teeth
