Early Onset Diabetes in Two Children due to Progeria, a Monogenic Disease of DNA Repair
Progeria syndrome is a rare disorder in childhood which causes accelerated systemic aging. Due to the accelerated aging process, disorders which normally occur only in old age will appear in these children at a much younger age.

Aging of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome fibroblasts is characterised by hyperproliferation and increased apoptosis [PDF]
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that mimics certain aspects of aging prematurely. Recent work has revealed that mutations in the lamin A gene are a cause of the disease.

Dietary magnesium supplementation improves lifespan in a mouse model of progeria
Aging is associated with redox imbalance according to the redox theory of aging. Consistently, a mouse model of premature aging (LmnaG609G/+) showed an increased level of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a reduced basal antioxidant ...

Lessons in aging from Myc knockout mouse models
Despite MYC being among the most intensively studied oncogenes, its role in normal development has not been determined as Myc−/− mice do not survival beyond mid-gestation.
