American track star Jesse Owens became the hero of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany, as his series of victories scored a moral victory for African American athletes.
HGPS is caused by a mutation in the gene called LMNA (pronounced âlamin-aâ). The LMNA gene produces the lamin A protein which is the structural scaffolding that holds the nucleus of a cell together. The abnormal lamin A protein that causes Progeria is called progerin. Progerin makes the nucleus unstable. That cellular instability leads to the process of premature aging and disease in Progeria. Progeria Cell Nucleus. PRF was the driving force behind finding the gene responsible for Progeria.

However like boys, they also have children at a younger age. The researchers suggested that the reason for the delayed puberty in boys may be due to the stress of losing their father. Meanwhile, those who become young fathers âmay have inherited non-committal, promiscuous behaviour from their absent fathers'.
