Hutchinson-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.
متن کاملHutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
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 کاملCraniofacial abnormalities in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.
HGPS is a rare syndrome of segmental premature aging. Our goal was to expand the scope of structural bone and soft-tissue craniofacial abnormalities in HGPS through CT or MR imaging. Using The Progeria Research Foundation Medical and Research Database, 98 imaging studies on 25 patients, birth to 14.1 years of age, were comprehensively reviewed. Eight newly identified abnormalities involving the...
متن کاملHutchinson-gilford Syndrome (progeria): a Review
Progeria, also known as the Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome, is an extremely rare condition that was initially reported by Jonathan Hutchinson in 1886 and further described by Hastings Gilford in 1904. Hutchinson Gilford progeria syndrome is a disorder characterized by premature aging of postnatal onset. The main clinical and radiological features include alopecia, thin skin hypoplasia of nails, lo...
