pituuskasvoa
Pituuskasvoa, also known as progeria, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by rapid aging and premature death. It is caused by mutations in the LMNA gene, which is responsible for producing lamin A, a protein essential for maintaining the structure of the cell nucleus. The most common form of pituuskasvoa is Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
Individuals with pituuskasvoa exhibit a range of symptoms, including accelerated growth and development, wrinkled skin, loss
The diagnosis of pituuskasvoa is typically made through genetic testing, which can identify mutations in the
Research into pituuskasvoa is ongoing, with efforts focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms of the disease
