Then we look at every aspect of medical care that has been given to the children. We perform statistical analyses, and look at what treatments have worked for maintaining quality of life and what treatments have not worked. Most doctors have only seen one child with Progeria, and they are not sure what to do when the child needs things like heart medications, anesthesia, and proper physical therapy. We have the ability to give advice to the doctors and their families based on this database program.<\/p>\n<p>The Progeria Research Foundation is collaborating with Brown University Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research for this wonderful project. The Brown Center has many years of experience with creating and analyzing healthcare databases.<\/p>\n<p>We also use the medical records to understand more about the basis of disease in Progeria, which serves as a springboard for new research in Progeria and in the diseases of aging such as heart disease. This may lead to clues for new treatments for the children and for all of us!<\/p>\n<p>There has never been a centralized childhood Progeria database from which to draw health care information. This has led to unintentional clinical maltreatment of patients, misdiagnoses and delayed diagnoses, simply because caretakers do not know which medical strategies have been successful with other Progeria children and which have not. The goal of this project is to collect the health care records for children with Progeria and develop a centralized health database for use by health care professionals, medical researchers, and families of children with Progeria.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Aims of the Database<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>To describe in detail what treatment strategies have been successful, and what treatments have failed for the medical issues faced by children with HGPS. This may help the families and their doctors understand how to best care for children with Progeria.<\/li>\n<li>To provide health care recommendations to families in non-medical language about the issues that are important to the quality of life for children with HGPS.<\/li>\n<li>The database is a resource for gaining new insights into the nature of HGPS and into the nature of other diseases such as atherosclerosis, which in turn will serve to stimulate the advancement of new research projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Institutional Review Board Approvals:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The PRF Medical and Research Database is Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved by the Rhode Island Hospital and the Brown University Committees on the Protection of Human Subjects.

Then we look at every aspect of medical care that has been given to the children. We perform statistical analyses, and look at what treatments have worked for maintaining quality of life and what treatments have not worked. Most doctors have only seen one child with Progeria, and they are not sure what to do when the child needs things like heart medications, anesthesia, and proper physical therapy. We have the ability to give advice to the doctors and their families based on this database program.\r\n\r\nThe Progeria Research Foundation is collaborating with Brown University Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research for this wonderful project. The Brown Center has many years of experience with creating and analyzing healthcare databases.\r\n\r\nWe also use the medical records to understand more about the basis of disease in Progeria, which serves as a springboard for new research in Progeria and in the diseases of aging such as heart disease. This may lead to clues for new treatments for the children and for all of us!\r\n\r\nThere has never been a centralized childhood Progeria database from which to draw health care information. This has led to unintentional clinical maltreatment of patients, misdiagnoses and delayed diagnoses, simply because caretakers do not know which medical strategies have been successful with other Progeria children and which have not. The goal of this project is to collect the health care records for children with Progeria and develop a centralized health database for use by health care professionals, medical researchers, and families of children with Progeria.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aims of the Database<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>To describe in detail what treatment strategies have been successful, and what treatments have failed for the medical issues faced by children with HGPS. This may help the families and their doctors understand how to best care for children with Progeria.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>To provide health care recommendations to families in non-medical language about the issues that are important to the quality of life for children with HGPS.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The database is a resource for gaining new insights into the nature of HGPS and into the nature of other diseases such as atherosclerosis, which in turn will serve to stimulate the advancement of new research projects.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Institutional Review Board Approvals:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe PRF Medical and Research Database is Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved by the Rhode Island Hospital and the Brown University Committees on the Protection of Human Subjects.

In addition, PRF funds medical research and runs research-related programs specifically aimed at finding the cause*, treatments, and cure for this syndrome.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Since its inception, PRF has benefited from the leadership of Attorney Audrey Gordon, Sam's aunt, who serves as the organization's President and Executive Director.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>Did you know?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWith the exception of our staff, everyone involved with PRF is a volunteer! Our Board of Directors, Clerk, Treasurer, committee members, translators, fund-raisers, etc. all devote their time, energy and talents to furthering our mission without pay. As a result, our administrative costs are very low. This leaves more money to devote to medical research and raising public awareness, which ultimately lead to finding a cure for Progeria.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1508790933490{background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"]\r\n<p class=\"\">Leslie B. Gordon, MD, PhD, is PRF's Medical Director. She is also the Principal Investigator of PRF's research-related programs: The PRF International Registry, Cell & Tissue Bank, Medical & Research Database, and Diagnostics Testing Program, and co-author on the historic Progeria gene finding and treatment discovery*.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1488054553154{background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"]\r\n<p class=\"\">* Thanks to PRF's efforts, in April 2003 PRF and the National Institutes of Health announced that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/identification_of_gene_gives_hope_to_children_with_progeria.html\">the cause of Progeria, a mutation in the LMNA gene, was found<\/a>, and in September 2012, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/first-ever-progeria-treatment.html\">the first-ever treatment was discovered.<\/a><\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1488054565202{background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"]There is much work to be done and little resources with which to do so. We cannot do it alone. With your support, the cure will be discovered for these wonderful children.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1488054579010{background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"]Together, we
