520 | _a"You might have heard of progeria. It's known as a disease of accelerated aging, causing children to become withered and wattled and to die of heart attack or stroke at an average age of 13." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) This article profiles the work of Dr. Leslie Gordon and the Progeria Research Foundation which she created in 1999 after her son Sam Berns was diagnosed with progeria. Dr. Gordon "believes that studying her son's rare and fatal disease may shed light on the process of normal aging. But at its core, the scientific pursuit is really about saving a boy." | ||
