Horror, Sleaze and Trash.

A brother and sister in India suffer from a rare condition that leaves them looking many years older. Keshav Kumar, 18 months, and his sister Anjali Kumari, seven, have wrinkled skin, suffer pain in their joints and swollen faces. The siblings suffer from a rare form of Progeria as well as a disease called Cutis Laxa, which doctors in India say is incurable. Progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), is a rare genetic condition that causes a child’s body to age faster than it should.Most children with the condition – which affects just one in every 4million births worldwide – don’t live past the age of 13.
