Progeria is a rare disorder that affects a child's growth and in many ways actually mimics the signs of aging. A child with Progeria will have very slow growth in the first year of life, and be below average in both height and weight. Other signs include hair loss, a large head with a small lower jaw and "beaked" nose, visible veins, stiff joints and an irregular heartbeat.
