Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare human genetic disease that leads to severe premature aging, caused by mutations in the LMNA gene and characterized by an accumulation of a mutated lamin A precursor (progerin), nuclear dysmorphism, and chromatin disorganization (Columbaro et al, 2005; Arancio et al, 2014). Here, LMNA is linked to hereditary disease.
