ABSTRACT:
Progeria is a rare genetic disorder that causes premature aging in children. A little genetic mutation is the disease's etiology. Aging-related symptoms like wrinkles and baldness are brought on by progeria. It's always a fatal disease. Heart attacks and strokes are the leading causes of death. One medication that may slow down the disease's course is lonafarnib.
