Two Indian children with Cutis Laxa, a rare degenerative disease, which causes them to appear prematurely aged, were taken by their parents for medical testing in Sadar hospital, in Ranchi on Saturday.
The 18 month-old boy and his seven-year-old sister suffer from the rare condition as well as a form of Progeria for which no cure exists. The pair suffers from pain in their joints, swollen faces, and wrinkled skin.
Progeria is a disorder that causes children to age rapidly starting from age two, most of those afflicted die from heart problems in early adolescence. Neither the children's parents nor the pair's 13-year-old sister suffer from the condition, leaving doctors puzzled as to the origins of the disease.
