Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome
Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by LMNA mutations that generate progerin, a toxic protein disrupting nuclear structure and accelerating ageing. Children develop rapid cardiovascular decline, growth failure and systemic tissue deterioration, making HGPS one of the most important models for understanding human ageing.
