Abstract
In 1886, Hutchinson described a boy with congenital alopecia, wrinkled atrophic skin, an odd facies, joint contractures, and normal intelligence. Subsequently in 1904, Gilford reported a second patient with similar features and suggested the term progeria, from the Greek word geras meaning old age, to describe the premature senile characteristics of the patients. Thus, the syndrome is also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).
