The Progeria Research Foundation

Progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), is an ultra-rare, fatal, pediatric condition of accelerated aging in children. Without treatment, children with Progeria die of the same heart disease that affects millions of normally aging adults (arteriosclerosis), but at an average age of just 14.5 years. Remarkably, their intellect is unaffected, and despite significant physical changes in their young bodies, these extraordinary children are intelligent, courageous, and full of life.

OUR MISSION: To discover treatments and the cure for Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome and its aging-related disorders, including heart disease.

FOR THE CHILDREN. FOR THE CURE.
