This is because of “mosaicism”, which is a condition that occurs when a parent has some genetic mutation for progeria present in their genes, but they do not replicate in their cells.

Progeria causes sufferers to age around 10 times faster than normal.

Progeria is a disease marked by an accelerated rate of aging.

Progeria affects approximately 1 in 4 – 8 million newborns.

This is due to a condition called mosaicism, where a parent has the genetic mutation for progeria in a small proportion of their cells, but does not have progeria

This is due to a condition called “mosaicism”, where a parent has the genetic mutation for Progeria in a small proportion of their cells, but does not have Progeria.

Since progeria is an inherited autosomal dominant disease, the individuals most at risk of developing such a disease are those whose parents, too, have progeria.

Progeria or Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome is an extremely rare health condition.

The average life expectancy for a child with Progeria is only 13 years.

The only management of progeria is that of the symptoms.

There are 135 known children in the world currently living with progeria.

Progeria is a rare genetic disease characterized by early aging of the child.

Progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder.
