Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the LMNA gene, leading to the production of an abnormal form of Lamin A, which damages the nuclear structure of cells. This results in symptoms such as hair loss, thin skin, and early heart disease in affected children. Although there is currently no cure for HGPS, recent advancements in RNA-based treatments offer promising progress in managing the condition.
