Abstract

Progeria is a rare genetic disease with striking features that resemble accelerated aging. The inheritance pattern, paternal age effect, and lack of consanguinity argue that it is due to a sporadic dominant mutation. We have observed elevated levels of hyaluronic acid (HA) excretion in progeria patients.

Keywords: Progeria; Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS); Disease
