THE HUTCHINSON AND GILFORD PROGERIA SYNDROME

By
Progeria is one of the most dreadful genetic diseases of the Earth. The modern word Progeria has been taken from the Greek “Progeros” which indicates “Premature old”.

The Greek word ‘Pro’ define ‘before’ and ‘geras’ indicates ‘old age’

This disease was first presented before the world by Dr.Jonathan Hutchinson in 1886 and Dr. Gilford in 1897 and with their names the disease has been given such name as HGPS.
This fatal disease has different symptoms. The early signs of aging are big symptoms of this disease. Besides there are many syndrome prevailing of this disease such as decreasing of growth, short size, loss of body fat , fall of hair, cardio and heart disease , stiffness in joint area, stroke etc .

Among every 4 to 5 billion newborn babies, one baby is affected by this disease in UK. The countries like Argentina, Israel, Armenia, and Austria. Canada, Australia, England etc have already reported the vicious impact of progeria. The Progeria affected patients do not live long and these types of patients generally die between the ages of 8 to 21.

Progeria leads to release” Lamin A” protein and this protein helps the nucleus to be unstable.This instability accelerate the process of aging. Most of the physician affirmed that Progeria is not a hereditary disease. It is found that progeria syndromes pass to one generation to another in about 1 in 100 cases.
Progeria can be recognized through genetic test or by watching the symptoms
FITS (FARNESYLTRANSFERASE) might give a new structure to the unstable nucleus which supposed to be the main cause of progeria.  An FITS testing was taken among 13 mice and only one was died of 105 days UCLA study.
“This study gives us pieces of information critical to our movement toward clinical trials in children with progeria."-spoken by Dr. Leslie Gordon.
But what is most unfortunate is that there is no special treatment available in the universe for this dreadful disease.
