Best Answer

India has become quite famous recently, in terms of Progeria, as three of the children of the same family are diagnosed with the rare disease. & Especially since the documentary on National Geographic Channel, however, it is not a commonly occurring medical condition, be it 'in' India or elsewhere in the world.
