Abstract
BACKGROUND Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (termed progeria in this Article) is a rare sporadic genetic disorder. One early clinical manifestation of progeria is abnormal skeletal growth, yet this growth has not been fully characterised. We aimed to characterise the skeletal maturation and long-bone growth patterns of patients with the clinical phenotype of progeria. METHODS For this retrospective study, we reviewed skeletal surveys of patients (aged <20 years) with progeria obtained over a 9·5-year period. Most surveys included radiographs of the hands and long bones (humeri, radii, ulnas, tibias, and fibulas). Bone ages of these patients were estimated by the standards of Greulich and Pyle. Following the established methods for studying long-bone growth, the study cohort was separated into two overlapping age groups: longitudinal bone length measurements were made between physes for the childhood group (aged 12 years or younger) and from the upper margins of the proximal to the lower margin of the distal ossified epiphyses for the adolescent group (aged 10 years or older). Bone age estimates and bone length measurements were plotted against the chronological age of patients and compared with reference standards. Statistical analyses were based on mixed models. FINDINGS 85 patients with progeria and 250 skeletal surveys were included in our study. For both sexes, bone age estimates showed a more advanced skeletal maturation rate throughout all chronological ages than the normal rate of 1 (p<0·0001), with the rate of maturation being 1·09 (SE 0·02) for boys and 1·14 (0·02) for girls. Longitudinal long-bone lengths began to deviate from normal standards by age 1-2 years. Growth curves for these long bones plateaued at about half the normal eventual bone length, and the half-life (the time taken to grow to half the eventual bone length) was also about half the time compared with normal standards. INTERPRETATION Our study established growth curves that might serve as reference standards for skeletal maturation and long-bone growth of patients with the clinical phenotype of progeria.

Abstract
PURPOSE Children with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a rare premature aging disease, exhibit extraskeletal calcifications detected by radiographic analysis and on physical examination. The aim of this study was to describe the natural history and pathophysiology of these abnormal calcifications in HGPS, and to determine whether medications and/or supplements tested in clinical trials alter their development. METHODS Children from two successive clinical trials administering 1) lonafarnib (n = 26) and 2) lonafarnib + pravastatin + zoledronic acid (n = 37) were studied at baseline (pre-therapy), one year on therapy, and at end-of-therapy (3.3-4.3 years after the baseline visit). Calcium supplementation (oral calcium carbonate) was administered during the first year of the second trial and was subsequently discontinued. Information on calcifications was obtained from physical examinations, radiographs, and serum and urinary biochemical measures. The mineral content of two skin-derived calcifications was determined by x-ray diffraction. RESULTS Extraskeletal calcifications were detected radiographically in 12/39 (31%) patients at baseline. The odds of exhibiting calcifications increased with age (p = 0.045). The odds were unaffected by receipt of lonafarnib, pravastatin, and zoledronate therapies. However, administration of calcium carbonate supplementation, in conjunction with all three therapeutic agents, significantly increased the odds of developing calcifications (p = 0.009), with the odds plateauing after the supplement's discontinuation. Composition analysis of calcinosis cutis showed hydroxyapatite similar to bone. Although serum calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) were within normal limits at baseline and on-therapy, PTH increased significantly after lonafarnib initiation (p < 0.001). Both the urinary calcium/creatinine ratio and tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP) were elevated at baseline in 22/39 (56%) and 31/37 (84%) evaluable patients, respectively, with no significant changes while on-therapy. The mean calcium × phosphorus product (Ca × Pi) was within normal limits, but plasma magnesium decreased over both clinical trials. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) was lower compared to age-matched controls (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Extraskeletal calcifications increased with age in children with HGPS and were composed of hydroxyapatite. The urinary calcium/creatinine ratio and TRP were elevated for age while FGF23 was decreased. Magnesium decreased and PTH increased after lonafarnib therapy which may alter the ability to mobilize calcium. These findings demonstrate that children with HGPS with normal renal function and an unremarkable Ca × Pi develop extraskeletal calcifications by an unidentified mechanism that may involve decreased plasma magnesium and FGF23. Calcium carbonate accelerated their development and is, therefore, not recommended for routine supplementation in these children.

Abstract
HGPS is a rare syndrome of segmental premature aging. Our goal was to expand the scope of structural bone and soft-tissue craniofacial abnormalities in HGPS through CT or MR imaging. Using The Progeria Research Foundation Medical and Research Database, 98 imaging studies on 25 patients, birth to 14.1 years of age, were comprehensively reviewed. Eight newly identified abnormalities involving the calvaria, skull base, and soft tissues of the face and orbits were present with prevalences between 43% and 100%. These included J-shaped sellas, a mottled appearance and increased vascular markings of the calvaria, abnormally configured mandibular condyles, hypoplastic articular eminences, small zygomatic arches, prominent parotid glands, and optic nerve kinking. This expanded craniofacial characterization helps link disease features and improves our ability to evaluate how underlying genetic and cellular abnormalities culminate in a disease phenotype.

Abstract
We report an 82-year-old girl with premature aging, a karyotype of 46,XX and a de novo c.1824C>T mutation encoding p.G608G in the lamin A gene. The clinical features of accelerated aging and the molecular finding were consistent with the diagnosis of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). In this presentation, we demonstrate the radiological imaging findings of skeletal, oral and craniofacial phenotypes of abnormalities associated with HGPS. The oral and craniofacial abnormalities caused dental caries, severe malocclusion, and swallowing, feeding and speech problems. Dural calcification, and granulation in the ear drum and external ear canal were additionally observed.

Abstract
CONTEXT Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and mandibuloacral dysplasia are well-recognized allelic autosomal dominant and recessive progeroid disorders, respectively, due to mutations in lamin A/C (LMNA) gene. Heterozygous LMNA mutations have also been reported in a small number of patients with a less well-characterized atypical progeroid syndrome (APS). OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to investigate the underlying genetic and molecular basis of the phenotype of patients presenting with APS. RESULTS We report 11 patients with APS from nine families, many with novel heterozygous missense LMNA mutations, such as, P4R, E111K, D136H, E159K, and C588R. These and previously reported patients now reveal a spectrum of clinical features including progeroid manifestations such as short stature, beaked nose, premature graying, partial alopecia, high-pitched voice, skin atrophy over the hands and feet, partial and generalized lipodystrophy with metabolic complications, and skeletal anomalies such as mandibular hypoplasia and mild acroosteolysis. Skin fibroblasts from these patients when assessed for lamin A/C expression using epifluorescence microscopy revealed variable nuclear morphological abnormalities similar to those observed in patients with HGPS. However, these nuclear abnormalities in APS patients could not be rescued with 48 h treatment with farnesyl transferase inhibitors, geranylgeranyl transferase inhibitors or trichostatin-A, a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Immunoblots of cell lysates from fibroblasts did not reveal prelamin A accumulation in any of these patients. CONCLUSIONS APS patients have a few overlapping but some distinct clinical features as compared with HGPS and mandibuloacral dysplasia. The pathogenesis of clinical manifestations in APS patients seems not to be related to accumulation of mutant farnesylated prelamin A.

Abstract
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is caused by the production of a truncated prelamin A, called progerin, which is farnesylated at its carboxyl terminus. Progerin is targeted to the nuclear envelope and causes misshapen nuclei. Protein farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTI) mislocalize progerin away from the nuclear envelope and reduce the frequency of misshapen nuclei. To determine whether an FTI would ameliorate disease phenotypes in vivo, we created gene-targeted mice with an HGPS mutation (LmnaHG/+) and then examined the effect of an FTI on disease phenotypes. LmnaHG/+ mice exhibited phenotypes similar to those in human HGPS patients, including retarded growth, reduced amounts of adipose tissue, micrognathia, osteoporosis, and osteolytic lesions in bone. Osteolytic lesions in the ribs led to spontaneous bone fractures. Treatment with an FTI increased adipose tissue mass, improved body weight curves, reduced the number of rib fractures, and improved bone mineralization and bone cortical thickness. These studies suggest that FTIs could be useful for treating humans with HGPS.

Abstract
LMNA-associated progeroid syndromes have been reported with both recessive and dominant inheritance. We report a 2-year-old boy with an apparently typical Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) due to compound heterozygous missense mutations (p.T528M and p.M540T) in LMNA. Both mutations affect a conserved region within the C-terminal globular domain of A-type lamins, defining a progeria hot spot. The nuclei of the patient showed no prelamin A accumulation. In general, the nuclear phenotype did not correspond to that previously described for HGPS. Instead, honeycomb figures predominated and nuclear blebs with reduced/absent expression of B-type lamins could be detected. The healthy heterozygous parents showed similar nuclear changes, although in a smaller percentage of nuclei. Treatment with a farnesylation inhibitor resulted in accumulation of prelamin A at the nuclear periphery, in annular nuclear membrane plaques and in intra/trans-nuclear membrane invaginations. In conclusion, these findings suggest a critical role for the C-terminal globular lamin A/C region in nuclear structure and support a major contribution of abnormal assembly to the progeroid phenotype. In contrast to earlier suggestions, we show that prelamin A accumulation is not the major determinant of the progeroid phenotype.

Abstract
AIM The Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome (neonatal progeroid syndrome, WR syndrome) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder including premature aging already at birth. Most of the patients show an aged face, a craniofacial dysmorphism, decreased subcutaneous fat tissue, a significant developmental delay, and have a short life expectation. We present the second patient described in literature reaching an age of 16 years. Furthermore this patient developed a progressive scoliosis during childhood which to our knowledge has not been reported before among individuals affected by Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome. The pathogenetic features of the spinal deformity are discussed and the operative management is described. METHOD The patient underwent a three-stage correction of her spinal deformity (anterior thoracic and lumbar release and posterior release, correction of the deformity with instrumentation and fusion) supported by Halo traction and physiotherapy. RESULTS At the latest follow-up 12 months postoperatively the patient showed a stable correction from 78 degrees to 38 degrees in the frontal plane with physiologic sagittal alignment both clinically and radiologically. CONCLUSION The scoliosis of our patient with Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome showed radiologically and clinically the characteristics of a neuromuscular curve. Since the curve showed a significant progression and high rigidity operative correction and fusion was indicated. We recommend a staged operative management to minimize the high risks of the operations and possible complications from cardiological and respiratory dysfunction associated with WR syndrome.

Abstract
Progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome, is an extremely rare condition originally described by Hutchinson in 1886. Death results from cardiac complications in the majority of cases and usually occurs at an average age of fourteen years. We recently experienced a patient with progeria who died suddenly after symptomatic improvement with conservative treatment. A Doppler and two-dimensional echocardiographic study revealed an enlarged and hypertrophied left ventricle with reduced global systolic function and senile aortic calcific stenosis (peak systolic pressure gradient: 50 mmHg) with a moderate degree of aortic regurgitation. Doppler findings of restrictive hemodynamic suggest severe left ventricular dysfunction due to multiple influences from the aging process, coronary artery and valvular heart disease.

Abstract
A girl with Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome was born to a non-consanguineous couple. During the pregnancy, growth retardation particularly in the biparietal and abdominal diameters but not the femoral length was detected through serial ultrasound scans. When the woman became pregnant again, in spite of having been assessed as having a 25% risk of recurrence, the prenatal findings seen in her previous pregnancy led us to suggest sequential echography and a similar pattern of growth retardation was shown. After termination, the male fetus was found to be affected by Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome. This case shows that ultrasound examination can be a useful tool in the prenatal diagnosis of this rare, autosomal recessive syndrome.

Abstract
The progeria syndrome (Hutchinson-Gilford) is an uncommon disease. A peculiar shape of the proximal radial metaphyseal region caused by an infolding of the cortex was observed on CT in 2 brothers suffering from this disorder, a feature not previously reported. A brief review of the radiologic literature was undertaken. This new observation needs to be further evaluated as it may provide a clinching diagnostic feature of this disease.

Abstract
The Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a rare, inherited, pediatric condition with features of premature and accelerated aging. The pattern of inheritance is uncertain though both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive modes have been proposed. The patients usually present after the 1st year of life with progressive skin and skeletal changes that give rise to a characteristic physical appearance. Three siblings seen at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital are described in this report, the third documenting the occurrence of progeria in African black patients. The two older siblings show the classic physical and radiologic changes described in progeria whereas the third, a 2-year-old boy, manifests only the early physical and radiologic changes of the disease. We compare the radiologic features of progeria with those of other progeroid conditions: acrogeria, Werner's and Cockayne's syndromes.

We report the skeletal abnormalities in a 4 1/2-year-old boy with acrogeria, a progeroid syndrome of premature aging of the skin without the involvement of internal organs seen in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. Acro-osteolysis of the distal phalanges, delayed cranial suture closure with wormian bones, linear lucent defects of the metaphyses, and antegonial notching of the mandible are the predominant skeletal features of the disorder. The skeletal features described in 21 other reported cases of acrogeria are summarized.

Abstract
Two cases of cockayne's syndrome occurring in the same family group are reported. The authors describe the chronological evolution of the bone lesions, based on radiological examinations of the older sister made at 4, 13 1/2, and 15 years of age. Evidence that clinical signs of early ageing are associated with a rapid drop in thymic hormone levels led the authors to search for radiological signs of premature ageing. At 15 years of age only minimal signs were apparent.

Abstract
A 910 gm infant with leprechaunism, the smallest reported infant with this syndrome, was described. Marked discrepancies were noted between gestational age as assessed by physical examination, bone and dental roentgenographic studies, and renal histology. Radiographic and pathologic features of this syndrome were discussed. Failure to thrive characterized the course of this infant despite adequate caloric intake. The precarious nature of these infants and difficulties encountered in obtaining adequate studies to delineate the cause of this syndrome were emphasized.

Abstract
Progeria or 'prematurely old' is an autosomal recessive trait that appears insidiously at or after the age of 6 months. Two affected siblings are reported showing radiologically progressive attenuation of the clavicles and terminal phalanges, widening of cranial sutures and mandibular hypoplasia. Scleroderma was also present. Out of 59 previously published cases five had scleroderma before the age of 2 years. Only three families with affected siblings have been previously recorded.
