How long do kids live with progeria?

Children with progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), have a significantly shortened lifespan. On average, individuals with progeria live to their mid-teens to early twenties, with the median age of death being around 14 years. However, there have been exceptional cases where individuals with progeria have lived into their late twenties or early thirties. It is important to note that progeria is a rare and progressive genetic disorder that affects various aspects of a child’s health and development, leading to premature aging and an increased risk of cardiovascular complications. While there is ongoing research and clinical trials exploring potential treatments, there is currently no known cure for progeria.
