Premature aging syndrome, Penttinen type (PENTT) is a rare progeroid syndrome characterized by prematurely aged appearance, delayed dental development, acro-osteolysis, diffuse keloid-like lesions, and ocular pterygia. It has been reported that mutations in PDGFRB cause this syndrome. PDGFRB encodes platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor beta. PDGF receptors are membrane-bound receptor tyrosine kinases important for connective tissue growth.
