Progeria was a genetic disease which occurred very rarely among Human children until it was eradicated in the 22nd century. Progeria caused children to age much more rapidly than normal, usually leading to an early death. In 2374, progeria was the only disease The Doctor could think of when Chakotay was suffering from progeria-like symptoms, though it would have been the first case in two centuries and the first ever adult diagnosis. It was later revealed that Chakotay's condition originated in Srivani medical experiments. (VOY: "Scientific Method")

  • Progeria narrowly refers to Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome, but the term is also used more generally to describe any of the so-called "accelerated aging" diseases. The word progeria is derived from the Greek for "prematurely old". Dr Joe Ridley was a geneticist researching the causes and possible cures for Progeria and the aging process in general (TXF: "Young at Heart").
