Abstract
We describe a premature aging disorder in a 15-year-old girl with severe growth and developmental deficiency. Her clinical findings included osteosarcoma, nuclear and subcapsular cataracts, insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, epilepsy, foot ulcers, erythroid macrocytosis, and unusual facial appearance. Hyaluronic acid levels in serum and urine were normal. Cultured skin fibroblasts had a normal potential for in vitro growth. This finding represents a new and unique premature aging syndrome.Entities:
