Progeria Handbook

The Progeria Handbook is a particularly important document produced by the Progeria Research Foundation, designed to be used as a kind of easily accessible handbook on Progeria. It has a section devoted to any medical problems that patients with progeria may encounter, with practical advice for their carers. There is also a careful section devoted to the patients' social life, both in dealing with normal human growth and development and in their relationships with peers or family. The Progeria Handbook, despite a substantial section dedicated to specialists, is not intended as a substitute for the advice that the PRF medical team can provide over the years or in emergencies, but it is an excellent starting point for useful information and authoritative guidelines.
