Early Onset Diabetes in Two Children due to Progeria, a Monogenic Disease of DNA Repair

Publication date2019
Abstract

Progeria Syndrome is a rare disorder in childhood which causes accelerated systemic aging. Due to the accelerated aging process, disorders which normally occur only in old age will appear in these children at a much younger age. We report two children with Progeria syndrome, in whom fulminant diabetes mellitus manifested at a very early age.
