Isn't this (to some extent at least) just a *mimicry* of
senescence/`aging'? Rather as embryonic unfolding bears an accidental
resemblance to evolutionary development, giving rise to the mistaken theory
that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. Is it possible that to a large
extent progeria *doesn't* precapitulate real geria, but just has some
superficial aspects in common?
### Very good point. Which is why I am quite happy with my mtDNA obsession,
no matter what mutations are found in progerias.
