Brooke Greenberg, next year has actually been able to vote, but the body and failed to grow mentally, she was still measuring 30 inches and has a mental illness as one year old child.
The doctors could not find out what happened to him, they can only be termed conditions with syndrome X.
But now through his DNA is known that, the failure of self-development of Greenberg because his genes failed to grow, unlike other human beings in general.
It is hoped that by studying its DNA, scientists are able to uncover rahasa from the ageless process and even developed through therapy and treatment for diseases associated with aging.
A conference will be held in London this week. The conference gathered all the experts who study about the age, they will discuss the findings from this Greenberg case.
Greenberg was born in Reistertown near Baltimore, the United States. When lahirpun he like other babies, looks normal.
But before heading to the second year of his age, he was attacked by an unknown disease.Until then the growth stopped.
The doctor was unable to explain the child's illness, but it is believed that the body can not grow like other people.
Greenberg could follow the movement and also heard voices, but he could not speak.
Bones, such as 10-year-old child, but his teeth like a baby.
"Our hypothesis says that he suffered damage in his genes. If only we could use DNA to find genetic mutation, then we can have a test to try if it can be to stop or delay the aging process as our will," said Professor Richard Walker , from the University of South Florida School MedicineWalker, as reported by telegraph.co.uk, Monday (05/10/2010).
There is a possibility it provides an opportunity to answer the question why we are not eternal, "he concluded.
