New blood test could track rare aging disease and heart damage

Researchers have identified practical tools to detect progerin—a protein that causes Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder of rapid aging—and measure resulting cardiac damage. The discovery could enable earlier intervention and improve clinical trials for this devastating childhood condition.
