Progeria (also known as "Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome" and
"Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome") is an extremely rare, severe,
genetic condition wherein symptoms resembling aspects of aging are
manifested at an early age. The disease has a very low incidence
and occurs in one per eight million live births.Those born with
progeria typically live about thirteen years, although many have
been known to live into their late teens and early twenties and
rare individuals may even reach their forties. It is a genetic
condition that occurs as a new mutation and is not usually
inherited, although there is a uniquely inheritable form. This is
in contrast to another rare but similar premature aging syndrome,
dyskeratosis congenita (DKC), which is inheritable and will often
be expressed multiple times in a family line.
