Progeria

 
"Isolating the Progeria gene is a major achievement 
for the medical research community," said Dr. Collins, 
"The discovery not only gives hope to children and families 
affected by Progeria, but also may shed light on the phenomenon of aging..."....


In 15 years, since we founded PRF and there were no resources 
for these children, we have gone from gene finding to the first 
clinical trials to the first-ever treatment discovery! 
We are now being hailed as a model for disease-research organizations 
and a prime example of successful translational research, 
moving from the lab to treatments at a pace virtually unheard of in the 
scientific community. 
And while helping this handful of children, the connection of Progeria 
to common heart disease and aging has tremendous implications for us all.

From an obscure, ignored disease to treatment and global recognition
 – an impressive timeline in the world of medical research. 
But we need your help to get to the cure!
