Are there been any new genetic treatments to treat progeria?
There is no treatment for progeria. That is genetic aberration and not a disease.
What is the cause of a genetic disorder?
A mutation in the gene makeup of the organism.
Scientist test for alleles that cause human genetic disorders by?
There are many tests for alleles that cause human genetic disorders. These tests are usually taken by blood or other bodily samples.
Who discovered progeria?
I got this from google. The first person was Jonathan Hutchin.
What are the arguments for genetic engineering?
Genetic engineering can cause side affects unknown to humans. And it is messing with nature and the way of human life

There is no treatment for progeria. That is genetic aberration and not a disease.
Is progeria preventable?

What individuals catch progeria?
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.
Is progeria non disjunction?
No, progeria is not caused by non disjunction. Progeria is a rare genetic disorder where a mutation occurs in the LMNA gene, leading to premature aging in children. Non disjunction is a different type of genetic error where chromosomes fail to separate properly during cell division.
Can adults get Progeria?
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
What is the chromosomal locus of progeria?
Progeria causes you to have missing chromosomes in your body function
Does progeria affect males more then females?
Progeria is so rare that scientists have not been able to determine who is likely to get it. They believe it has a genetic component, but they have not been able to identify the exact cause or any risk factors.
What is the name of the disease that causes rapid aging?
Progeria http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progeria
Do black people get progeria?
Progeria is an extremely rare genetic condition that mainly affects children of all ethnicities. However, there have been reported cases of black children diagnosed with progeria, but it is still very uncommon.
