Progeroid syndromes (PS) are a group of rare genetic disorders that mimic physiological aging, making affected individuals appear to be older than they are. [1] [2] The term progeroid syndrome does not necessarily imply progeria (Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome), which is a specific type of progeroid syndrome.
Progeria is a specific type of progeroid syndrome, also known as Hutchinson–Gilford syndrome or Hutchinson–Gilford progeroid syndrome (HGPS). [8] A single gene mutation is responsible for causing progeria. The affected gene, known as lamin A (LMNA), makes a protein necessary for holding the cell nucleus together.
Wiedemann–Rautenstrauch (WR) syndrome (German pronunciation: [ˈviːdəman ˈʁaʊtn̩ʃtʁaʊx]), also known as neonatal progeroid syndrome, [1] is a rare autosomal recessive progeroid syndrome. There have been over 30 cases of WR. [2] WR is associated with abnormalities in bone maturation, and lipids and hormone metabolism. [3]
Nestor-Guillermo progeria syndrome is an extremely rare novel genetic disorder that is part of a group of syndromes called progeria.This disorder is characterized by the same symptoms of other progeria syndromes, which are premature aging with accompanying aged physical appearance, osteolysis, osteoporosis, scoliosis and lipoatrophy, however, what makes this disorder unique from other ...
Marfanoid–progeroid–lipodystrophy syndrome (MPL), also known as Marfan lipodystrophy syndrome (MFLS) or progeroid fibrillinopathy, is an extremely rare medical condition which manifests as a variety of symptoms including those usually associated with Marfan syndrome, an appearance resembling that seen in neonatal progeroid syndrome (NPS; also known as Wiedemann–Rautenstrauch syndrome ...

MDP syndrome, also known as mandibular dysplasia with deafness and progeroid features, is an extremely rare metabolic disorder that prevents fatty tissue from being stored underneath the skin. It is only known to affect a very small number of people worldwide (fewer than 12 cases have been diagnosed as of December 2014).
Rothmund-Thomson syndrome and xeroderma pigmentosum display symptoms dominated by vulnerability to cancer, whereas progeria and Werner syndrome show the most features of "accelerated aging". Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is very often caused by a defective MSH2 gene leading to defective mismatch repair , but displays no ...
