There are so many wonderful things here to point out.
I love Progeria. They've identified the gene, which is just a spontaneous, non hereditary mutation. About fifty kids are living with it right now. It limits the lifetime of the infected child to around 13 years but in some cases, the children live to be as old as 21 or as young as 8. It's an acceleration of aging disease and most children die of angina.
Eeee.
