摘要
A case of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is reported. A 2-month-old boy presented with scleroderma-like skin changes on the trunk and extremities, prominent eyes, loss of subcutaneous fat, prominent scalp veins, high-pitched voice, joint stiffness and growth retardation at 1-month old. Hair loss occurred afterward. Genetic analysis revealed an unusual mutation (c.1968+1G>A) of the human nuclear lamin A gene (LMNA). Based on clinical manifestations and genetic analysis, he was diagnosed as HGPS. This was the first HGPS patient with c.1968+1G>A mutation in China.
