The premature aging of children, increasingly clear
Londoner researchers discover how the premature aging of children or the mutation of the prowess affects the organism. This syndrome, discovered a year ago by a mutation of the LMNA gene, has found that the protein Lamin A that encodes this gene is responsible for premature aging of cells.
It seems that the protein Lamin A of the progerides divides the cell faster than normal, thus losing its fragmentation capacity before. This makes the cells of the organism aging before.
Progerie syndrome Progeria or Hutchinson-Gilford has been considered a curiosity, as only about 40 cases are known in the world. These children suffer typical diseases of old age, such as infarction, arteriosclerosis, harden the joints... And they have a life expectancy of 13-14 years.
