Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is characterized by accelerated aging due toa de novo mutation in the LMNA gene (c.1824C>T, G608G). The mutated LaminA (progerin) is permanently farnesylated, localizing to and distorting the nuclear envelope. HGPS children suffer from growth failure, loss of body fat and hair, aged- skin and joint stiffness. Progressive vascular aging causes death from heart attack or stroke in the teen years.
