Preferred Label : Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch progeroid syndrome;
ICD-11 definition : Neonatal progeroid syndrome is a premature aging syndrome in which features of human
aging are apparent at birth, including larger than nomal sized head; prominent scalp
veins; triangular, aged face; wrinkled skin; and decreased fat under the skin. This
differentiates this syndrome from other premature aging syndromes such as Hutchinson–Gilford
progeria syndrome (HGPS) (more commonly called progeria) in which characteristics
of premature aging typically become apparent some time after birth. Although the exact
cause of neonatal progeroid syndrome is unknown, it is believed to be genetic and
inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion [Genetic and Rare Diseases Information
Center (GARD)].;
