Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) or Premature Aging

Have you ever seen a two-year-old looking like an older guy? The sight is rare but this happens in the case of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, one of the rarest diseases in the world. The children suffering from the condition have protruding eyes, aged skin, as well as suffer from hair loss. This is a rare genetic condition in which children in their younger years age rapidly. These children appear normal at birth but start developing symptoms later. The initial symptoms of Hutchinson Progeria symptoms are stunted growth and short stature. The condition is progressive. The cause behind this rare genetic condition is genetic. The prevalence of Hutchinson Progeria syndrome is 1 in 20 million.
