Fontaine progeroid syndrome (FPS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by early aging, bone dysplasia, characteristic face, and early demise. Mutations in SLC25A24, that encodes for calcium-binding mitochondrial carrier protein, cause FPS. Formerly, FPS was separated into two syndromes, Gorlin-Chaudhry-Moss syndrome and Fontaine-Farriaux syndrome. Because they share similar clinical manifestations and have common genetic basis, it has been proposed to be integrated into a single disorder.
