All-trans retinoic acid and rapamycin normalize Hutchinson Gilford progeria fibroblast phenotype
Hutchinson Gilford progeria syndrome is a fatal disorder characterized by accelerated aging, bone resorption and atherosclerosis, caused by a LMNA mutation which produces progerin, a mutant lamin A precursor. Progeria cells display progerin and prelamin A nuclear accumulation, altered histone methylation pattern, heterochromatin loss, increased DNA damage and cell cycle alterations. Since the L...
متن کاملHutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
The Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome or progeria is a laminopathy generated by mutations that affect LMNA gene. This produces an abnormal protein named progerine which alters the formation of the cellular membrane inducing premature aging of all cells. In the present review aspects related to the pathophysiology and clinical characteristics of this syndrome are shown.

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a lethal congenital disorder, characterised by premature appearance of accelerated ageing in children. Although HGPS was first descri‐ bed by Jonathan Hutchinson [1] and then by Hastings Gilford [2] more than a century ago, it was not until 2003 that the genetic basis of HGPS was uncovered [3, 4]. Approximately 90% of HGPS patients have an identica...
متن کاملHutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is an extremely rare, uniformly fatal, segmental "premature aging" disease in which children exhibit phenotypes that may give us insights into the aging process at both the cellular and organismal levels. Initial presentation in early childhood is primarily based on growth and dermatologic findings. Primary morbidity and mortality for children with HG...
متن کاملHutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome: review of the phenotype.
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare but well known entity characterized by extreme short stature, low body weight, early loss of hair, lipodystrophy, scleroderma, decreased joint mobility, osteolysis, and facial features that resemble aged persons. Cardiovascular compromise leads to early demise. Cognitive development is normal. Data on 10 of our own cases and 132 cases from l...
