Can anyone name a Genetic Aging Disease/Disorder that starts with an "S..."?


For a Biology project i got assigned a Genetic Disorder to do a project on but i forgot what is was called!!!!! All i remember is that it is where you age like twice as fast as a normal person and the name starts with an "S" and is hard to pronounce. Ive looked at all websites and I cannot seem to find something that comes to mind. Does anyone know???? I WILL GREATLY APPRICIATE THIS!!!!!

Senescence?

(SUPER) Genetic Aging Disease/Disorder!!!!

duhhh

I would say sex and saddism but the proper answer is probably senility

I am SO sorry i couldn't find one that started with an s but I know an aging disorder is called Werner's Syndrome because my friend was assigned to this. Sorry I hope this helps!

SEGMENTAL PROGERIA

Diseases that resemble certain aspects of accelerated aging are known as segmental progerias, because of the "segments" of aging in each disease condition

Is it Senility? I think I spelled it correctly. One who gets senile.
