Adaptive Stress Response in Segmental Progeria Resembles Long-Lived Dwarfism and Calorie Restriction in Mice
How congenital defects causing genome instability can result in the pleiotropic symptoms reminiscent of aging but in a segmental and accelerated fashion remains largely unknown. Most segmental progerias are associated with accelerated fibroblast senescence, suggesting that cellular senescence is a likely contributing mechanism. Contrary to expectations, neither accelerated senescence nor acute ...
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.
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 کاملLiving with Progeria
Mission The Progeria Family Circle is a parents’ organisation and network that supports European Progeria children and their families in several ways. The objectives are fourfold: Meetings First, the foundation organises annual meetings for all European children and their families. These are important highlights, because of the rarity of the disease children never see other patients. Also for t...
