Efficacy of Cord Blood Cell Therapy for Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome—A Case Report
Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is an extremely rare premature aging disorder characterized by short stature and atherosclerosis-induced death within teenage years. A 13-year-old male diagnosed with HGPS was administered three intravenous infusions of allogeneic cord blood (CB) cells fro...

A 13-year-old male diagnosed with HGPS was administered three intravenous infusions of allogeneic cord blood (CB) cells from unrelated donors at four-month intervals to evaluate the safety and its therapeutic efficacy. Adverse events were monitored in addition to height, weight, laboratory blood tests, joint range of motion (ROM), and carotid Doppler. Cytokine and receptor assays were also performed.
