Abstract excerpt
A progeroid family was found to harbor a pathogenic variant in the CASP5 gene that encodes inflammatory caspase 5.

Long-term intermittent hyper-inflammatory response is likely the cause of the accelerated aging phenotype comprised of earlier onset of common aging diseases, supporting...
