Progeria causes you to have missing chromosomes in your body function
I'm not sure where it is, but I know that it has to do with the LMNA gene.
yes progeria is a genetic disorder
no it is not
yes
Yes...The first black child diagnosed with progeria is named Ontlametse Phalatse.
The specific term is gene locus. If the exact location is known then there is more specific terminology that refers to the chromosome number whether the locus is on the short (p) or long (q) arm of the chromosome and it's specific location based on band and sub-band location.
Progeria is not caused by inheriting the trait, but rather it is a points mutation that occurs in sperm before conception.
Chromosomal disorders are caused by abnormalities in the chromosomes.
Gene locus is a specific location on an allele.
No, adults can't get progeria, progeria is in the genes, so the person will be immediatly affected with it, you don't see adults with progeria, because most people with progeria die before they turn 13
Having different alleles at one or more corresponding chromosomal loci.
No, Tom Cruise has never had progeria.
Progeria is autosomal dominant.
Progeria is caused by a dominant mutation in the LMNA gene. It is a rare genetic disorder that results in accelerated aging in children.
The oldest person recorded with Progeria, was 21.
There is no treatment for progeria. That is genetic aberration and not a disease.
The exact opposite. Children with Progeria are extremely skinny.
how many individuals get the progeria? Progeria is a very rare genetic disease and can't be "caught." You are either born with it or not. If you are not born with it, you can never develop it. The incidence of progeria is about 1 in every 8 million live births.
1 in every 4-8 million newborn get Progeria.
Progeria characteristics appear at 10-24 months of age.
Progeria occurs equally in both sexes.
