Genetic disorder that lead to dramatically accelerated aging (premature) are :

  • A.Werner syndrome and progeria
  • B.Lamin A Gene
  • C.WRN Gene
  • D.Contaminated Gene

Answer: A

The disorders are Werner syndrome and progeria.

Both are rare genetic disorders that dramatically accelerate ageing. Hutchinson-Gilford progeria starts in early childhood, with children showing hair loss, aged-looking skin and heart disease, and is caused by a mutation in the LMNA gene. Werner syndrome, or adult progeria, begins in adolescence or early adulthood and is caused by mutations in the WRN gene.

Lamin A gene and WRN gene are the genes involved, not the disorders the question asks for, and 'contaminated gene' is not a genetic term.
