Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Hutchinson-Gilford progeria, the nuclei of affected cells are affected. There is a mutation in the Lamin A/C gene, which leads to the production of a truncated and abnormal form of the lamin A protein called progerin. Progerin accumulates in the nuclei and disrupts the normal structure and function of the nuclear envelope, causing premature aging symptoms.
