Progeria is a very rare disease in the world. The cause is not clear. Researchers found that mutations in the LMNA gene may be associated with progeria. The LMNA gene provides instructions for making lamin A protein, which is the structural scaffolding that holds the nucleus of a cell together. Researches demonstrate that the defective Lamin A protein makes the nucleus unstable.
