2. DNA repair-deficiency disorderA DNA repair-deficiency disorder is a medical condition due to reduced functionality of DNA repair. DNA repair defects are seen in nearly all of the diseases described as accelerated aging disease, in which various tissues, organs or systems of the human body age prematurely. Because the accelerated aging diseases display different aspects of aging, but never every aspect, they are often called segmental progerias by biogerontologists.
