Hutchinson's disease Progeria, or Hutchinson's disease, is one of the most famous rare diseases. Due to congenital genetic abnormalities, a young child's body begins to age at a tremendous rate. At the same time, his psychological development remains, as it should be, at the childish level. The child's appearance becomes characteristic of the disease when he turns 2 or 3 years old. He is diagnosed with severe stunting, loss of skin elasticity, lack of hair and secondary sexual characteristics. Veins appear on the thin and pale skin. Progeria is 2 times more common in boys than in girls. Approximately 80 people with this pathology are officially registered worldwide. Death from progeria occurs at the age of 10-13 years, but there are cases when patients live up to 27-30 years. A kind of record was set in Japan when a person lived to be 45 years old and died of progressive heart failure.
