DEVELOPMENT AND CAUSES OF PROGERIA DISEASE
Keywords:
Genetik kasallik, DNK mutatsiyasi, hujayra shikastlanishi, suyak deformatsiyasiAbstract
Progeria is a rare genetic disease caused by a mutation in the LMNA gene. This mutation results in the production of the progerin protein, which disrupts the normal process of cell division and repair. As a result, the body begins to age prematurely. There is currently no complete cure for progeria. However, treatments such as farnesyltransferase inhibitor (FTI) drugs and gene therapy are important in slowing the progression of the disease.
