Abstract Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome is an extreme rare genetic disorder that catastrophically influences children in pre-mature aging and dying in their teenagers. So far‚ all drugs used to treat this disease are focusing on reducing complications and extending the life spans of patients‚ but no treatment has been proven to treat this disease directly and effectively. Fortunately‚ the new drug named farnesyltransferase inhibitors appears recently in the research field of Hutchinson–Gilford

Symptoms of this disease of the nervous system include weight loss‚ emotional disturbances‚ Wernicke’s encephalopathy (impaired sensory perception)‚ weakness and pain in the limbs‚ periods of irregular heartbeat‚ and edema (swelling of bodily tissues). Heart failure and death may occur in advanced cases. Chronic thiamine deficiency can also cause Korsakoff’s syndrome‚ an irreversible psychosis characterized by amnesia

Although there were well-known hazards associated with some PCBs in occupational settings‚ NCR’s investigations of possible toxicity of its CCP containing Aroclor 1242 (the Hill Top studies) had shown low to negligible toxicity‚ especially at lower concentrations. As described in my earlier reports‚ NCR had no scientifically credible reason to conclude that the potential toxicity of CCP and its
