I'm not sure about weird but defintely rare: Cri du chat syndrome. well i saw on TV that their was a guy that grew hair in all his face and body just like a werewolf Progeria is a rare disorder in which a person's cells age faster than normal. The afflicted appear old while still children, seldom living past the age of ten. The one I remember the best was the one where people stop aging. They had people on TV that stopped aging around 10-13 years of age. They were all in their 20's and 30's, but had the bodies of children. Not midgets. They were people actually physically 10-13 years old. Had a really long name for this disorder. |
