早年衰老症候群
早年衰老症候群（Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome），简称早衰症。早衰症是一种极端罕见的先天遗传性疾病，其患者身体的老化过程十分快速。而罹患此病孩童的年龄很少超过13岁，大约每八百万个新生儿之中就有一位得到此疾。虽然早衰症是一种遗传性疾病，但是发生的十分零星且很少在家族之中遗传下来。
科学家们对早衰症尤其有兴趣，因为相关的研究可能透漏出关于正常人体老化进程的知识。
英语百科
Progeria 早年衰老症候群
Progeria (pronunciation: /proʊˈdʒɪəriə/) (Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome, HGPS, progeria syndrome) is an extremely rare genetic disorder in which symptoms resembling aspects of aging are manifested at a very early age. Progeria is one of several progeroid syndromes. The word progeria comes from the Greek words "pro" (πρό), meaning "before" or "premature", and "gēras" (γῆρας), meaning "old age". The disorder has a very low incidence rate, occurring in an estimated 1 per 8 million live births. Those born with progeria typically live to their mid teens to early twenties. It is a genetic condition that occurs as a new mutation, and is rarely inherited, as carriers usually do not live to reproduce. Although the term progeria applies strictly speaking to all diseases characterized by premature aging symptoms, and is often used as such, it is often applied specifically in reference to Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).
