Overview
There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).
Diagnostic Study of Choice
- There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), but Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) can be diagnosed based on clinical presentation and genetic testing of the gene LMNA gene (c.1824C>T[p.Gly608Gly]).
- The diagnosis of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is based on the clinical presentation, which include the following:
- Failure to thrive in the first year of life
- Very peculiar facial presentation which include:
- Micrognathia(Jaw is undersized)
- Prominent eyes(protruding eyes)
- Circumoral cyanosis(blue discoloration around the mouth)
- Alopecia
- Prominent scalp veins
- Sclerotic skin changes
- Joint contractures
- Decreased range of motion in the joints
