Studies of the causes of ageing are often obscured by the complexity of this phenomenon, hindering investigations in this area. In particular, the variable characteristics of ageing complicate analysis at a molecular level. It is proposed that to gain insight into ageing, the problem must first be simplified by restricting studies to an aspect of the ageing processes. It is suggested that progeria, which presents a less complicated etiology and phenotype than other accelerated ageing diseases, allows research to focus on a regulation site involved in development and ageing.

“…Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare inherited disorder belonging to the category of segmental progeriod conditions (1). Afflicted individuals suffer from severe growth retardation (2), cachectic dwarfism (3), mental retardation, deafness, optic atrophy, intracranial calcification, and a number of facial characteristics.…”

“…These are rare genetic diseases associated with accelerated ageing of the skin and other tissues. 4 Acrogeria is an extremely rare genetic syndrome which begins at birth or soon afterwards characterized by mild, nonprogressive form of skin atrophy involving mainly the distal parts of the extremities. Most cases are sporadic: however both autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant inheritance have been reported with a female predominance.…”
