Wij hebben hier de antwoorden voor je!<\/p>\n<p>We vinden het geweldig dat het bewustzijn over Progeria zich over de hele wereld verspreidt en dat u er meer over wilt weten, dus bedankt! Terwijl het team bij PRF druk bezig is met het verder ontwikkelen van onze missie om behandelingen en een genezing te vinden, hebben we het onderstaande vragen- en antwoordenblad voorbereid om u te helpen de informatie te verstrekken die u nodig hebt, waarbij de meest voorkomende vragen die ons worden gesteld hieronder worden beantwoord. We hopen dat dit u helpt om de beste cijfers te halen voor uw schoolrapport, of gewoon om meer te begrijpen over Progeria en PRF, zodat u kunt helpen het woord te verspreiden over het werk dat we doen voor deze kinderen en jongvolwassenen.<\/p>\n<h1>Wist je dat?<\/h1>\n<p>Met uitzondering van onze medewerkers is iedereen die betrokken is bij PRF een vrijwilliger! Onze Raad van Bestuur, griffier, penningmeester, commissieleden, vertalers, fondsenwervers, etc. besteden allemaal hun tijd, energie en talenten aan het bevorderen van onze missie zonder betaling. Als gevolg hiervan zijn onze administratiekosten erg laag. Hierdoor blijft er meer geld over om te besteden aan medisch onderzoek en het vergroten van het publieke bewustzijn, wat uiteindelijk leidt tot het vinden van een remedie voor Progeria.<\/p>\n<p>Er is veel werk te doen en weinig middelen om dat te doen. Maar we kunnen het niet alleen.

on this topic, and she was so moved by the precious children, that she asked to donate her own money to this cause. It's great that you have things on the web that can give these children exposure and a voice to those of us who may never personally meet one!\u201d Lisa Hagen\r\n\r\nDo you have questions you need answered for a school report? Do you want to learn more about the children? Are you interested in knowing more about Progeria and the work PRF does? We've got the answers for you right here!\r\n\r\nWe love the fact that awareness about Progeria is spreading throughout the world and that you want to learn more, thank you! But we are so very busy at the office doing all the things that are needed to advance our mission of finding treatments and a cure that\u00a0we can no longer individually answer the many requests we receive from around the world.\u00a0Instead, we have prepared this Question and Answer sheet to help provide you with the information you're looking for, taking the most common questions we are asked and answering them below. We hope this helps you get top grades on your school report, or just helps you understand more about Progeria and The Progeria Research Foundation so that you can help spread the word about the wonderful work we are doing for these special children.\r\n\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<strong>1. I'm doing a school report on Progeria, can you help me get more information on this subject?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nIn addition to finding the cure and effective treatments for Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, part of our mission is to promote public awareness of this disease. By doing a report on Progeria, you are helping us accomplish that part of our mission.

Do the children participate in school activities, or are they limited because they have Progeria?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nChildren with Progeria are able to participate in all the same educational programs and sports activities as other children. With the exception of having Progeria, these children are just like their peers - Most have no special capacities or limitations other than those that their shorter stature and perhaps stiff joints cause for some activities. More details on school and general aspects of living with Progeria can be found in chapters 16 and 17 of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/patient-care-and-handbook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Progeria Handbook<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"8\" name=\"8\"><\/a>8.

Does the disease affect their mental abilities?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nNot at all. Children with Progeria are intelligent and full of energy just like other kids their age.\r\n\r\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"10\" name=\"10\"><\/a>10. Why do children with Progeria age in body so rapidly and not in mind?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nLMNA is not expressed by the brain cells, so the gene mutation does not affect the brain.\r\n\r\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"11\" name=\"11\"><\/a>11. What issues do you think are most important in the care of a patient with Progeria?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMost of all, it is important to remember that all children with Progeria have age appropriate intellect and personality. An eight-year-old with Progeria will think and act just like every other eight-year-old. Children with Progeria are smart and funny and full of life. It's the bodies of these children that are laden with the genetic predisposition toward conditions of aging and heart disease, not their minds. So they need their schools and communities and their friends to treat them just like any other child (with a few minor adjustments for size).<em> After all, Progeria is just a small part of who they are!<\/em>\r\n\r\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"12\" name=\"12\"><\/a>12. Are there any treatments available?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nYes. In April 2010, The Progeria Research Foundation published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/patient-care-and-handbook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Progeria Handbook<\/a>,\u00a0for families and doctors. From basic health facts to daily care recommendations to extensive treatment guidelines, this 100-page handbook helps answer many questions for children with Progeria throughout the world. We don't have a cure yet, but we do know that daily care makes a huge difference in their quality of life. Proper nutritional, physical, and occupational therapies, along with preventative cardiac and other care are essential. The handbook is also available in other languages.\r\n\r\nIn addition, history was made in September 2012 when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/first-ever-progeria-treatment.html\">first-ever drug treatment was discovered.<\/a> Every child in the clinical trial involving Lonafarnib, a farnesyl transferase inhibitor, showed improvement in one or more of four ways: gaining additional weight, better hearing, improved bone structure and\/or, most importantly, increased flexibility of blood vessels. Results of the study, which was funded and coordinated by The Progeria Research Foundation, were published September 24, 2012 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/content\/109\/41\/16666\"><em><strong>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/drug-increases-lifespan.html\">Further studies published\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/drug-increases-lifespan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/drug-increases-lifespan.html&source=gmail&ust=1526566777396000&usg=AFQjCNEZQ9IOVwqoWCGoj-8c_Lns1Qxs1w\"><b>in\u00a0<i>Circulation<\/i><\/b><i>\u00a0<\/i>in May 2014<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/first-ever-demonstrate-survival-benefit-in-progeria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">April 2018 in <em>The Journal of The American Medical Association<\/em><\/a> reveal that lonafarnib also increases the children\u2019s estimated lifespan. \u00a0We now know that drugs can improve the disease, as we continue to search for even more effective compounds and ultimately, the cure.\r\n\r\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"13\" name=\"13\"><\/a>13.

What would you like people to know about Progeria now?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWhile Progeria is an extremely rare disease, all children with Progeria die of severe premature atherosclerosis (heart disease). When you help children with Progeria, you are helping to save the lives of children with a 100% fatal disease. At the same time, you are helping us all, because research in this field will not only help The Progeria Research Foundation toward our goal of finding a treatment and a cure, but may provide answers to the mysteries of the natural aging process, heart disease and stroke (one of the leading killers in the world).\r\n\r\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"18\" name=\"18\"><\/a>18. I would like to study Progeria for a career, what courses of study do you suggest I take?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWow - that's terrific! Depending on where you are in your education, this answer varies. We suggest that you consult with your guidance or career counselor at school for the best course of action.\r\n\r\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"19\" name=\"19\"><\/a>19. I'd like to be a pen pal to a child with Progeria or send them a present.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nYour idea of wanting to become pen-pals is really great, but all contact information for the families and the children is confidential, so we wouldn't be able to give you their names and email addresses. However, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/meet-the-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Meet the Kids page<\/a>\u00a0lists some web sites for families with children that have Progeria. You can contact them through their web sites and ask if they'd like to have a pen-pal or a gift.\r\n\r\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"20\" name=\"20\"><\/a>20. I would like to talk to someone by phone or in person about living with Progeria.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFor the same confidentiality reasons as described in the answer above, we cannot put you in touch with someone to talk about living with Progeria. Please refer to #8 above to get information on this subject.\r\n\r\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"21\" name=\"21\"><\/a>21. I'd like to volunteer to work with the children. Do you have a camp that you run, or is there a hospital that I can contact regarding working with children with Progeria?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe do not have programs where we have direct contact with the children in the way that you are thinking of. The children are located all over the world, and so our contact with the families is almost exclusively through email, phone and postal mail. There is no \"camp\" or other social meeting we are involved in that brings them together where you might have an opportunity to work with the children. But we can always use another volunteer on our team! Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/get_involved\/\">Other Ways to Help<\/a> section for more information. Children, please ask your parents for their permission and assistance before volunteering.\r\n\r\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><a title=\"22\" name=\"22\"><\/a>22. What can people do to help? Where do you get most of your funding?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Progeria Research Foundation has been able to do a tremendous amount with a small amount of money. We don't have an endowment fund, and rely on the continued support of others who support our mission. Every little bit helps - those ten and twenty dollar donations really add up! Please check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progeriaresearch.org\/miracle_makers\/\">Miracle Makers<\/a> for just some of the great ways people have become involved, like a group of high school students who produced a performance, a French policeman who organized a flea market and a local bank that held a casual day - all to raise funds for PRF.\r\n\r\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\r\n\r\n<a title=\"23\" name=\"23\"><\/a><strong>23.
