Progeria is an fatal illness that is caused by a genetic mutation. It causes children's bodies to age far more rapidly than their peers. This might result in a ten year old child with the bones of a 90 year old adult.
Progeria is diagnosed by skin changes, abnormal growth, and loss of hair. A genetic test for a mutation in the genes can also be completed.
You are a child who looks like a very old person. Bald, wrinkly, bad eyes, etc.
Progeria is a very rare genetic disease. You can't catch it, you're either born with it or not.
you can't prevent it.
people with HGPS or progeria can have children although it is very unlikely to happen considering the fact that most only live to be 13 years old
progeria is recessive, that's an easy question, dont be dumbactually progeria is dominant, according to the Progeria Research Foundation
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

No, Tom Cruise has never had progeria.
Progeria is autosomal dominant.
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.
Progeria occurs equally in both sexes.
Progeria characteristics appear at 10-24 months of age.
