Item Progeria (Hutchison-Gilford syndrome) in siblings: in an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.(2001-09-01) Raghu, T Y; Venkatesulu, G A; Kantharaj, G R; Suresh, T; Veeresh, V; Hanumanthappa, YProgeria is an autosomal dominant, premature aging syndrome. Six and three year old female siblings had sclerodermatous changes over the extremities, alopecia, beaked nose, prominent veins and bird-like facies. Radiological features were consistent with features of progeria. The present case highlights rarity of progeria in siblings with a possible autosomal recessive pattern.
