How Did She Die?
At three months of age, Adalia Rose Williams was diagnosed with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome. The first symptoms and signs of this disease usually appear after the first year of life, according to medical data. In addition, children with Progeria can expect a life expectancy of about 13 years, some may reach 20 years.
What is Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome?
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria is a genetic condition that causes rapid aging in children. At birth and in early infancy, affected children may appear normal, but they grow more slowly than other children and do not gain weight as expected (failure to thrive). In addition to prominent eyes, thin nostrils with beaked tips, thin lips, a small chin, and protruding ears, they develop a characteristic facial appearance. Additionally, Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome results in hair loss (alopecia), aged-looking skin, joint abnormalities, and a loss of fat under the skin (subcutaneous fat). There is no effect on intellectual development or motor skills such as standing, sitting, and walking.
