Hutchinson Gilberg Progeria Syndrome
Hutchinson-Gilberg Progeria Syndrome, commonly known as Progeria, is a genetic mutation, or not passed down to children by the parents, that affects only about 80 children on the entire Earth. This particular disease is the rarest ever to be found because of its specific effect on the genes of an embryo. Also, the word “progeria” was formed for the Greek language to mean, “prematurely old”, because when a child develops it, it will form physical features that resemble a person who is close to death. What causes this elderly look is how the cell of the child are configured when they generate as the baby grows. To further explain the reasons of why this syndrome is sparse is that one single mutation to one miniscule gene in the baby’s DNA
