A new study identifies rare mutations in SPRTN that cause a novel progeroid syndrome. The results point to an unexpected function of SPRTN and bring insight to the mechanisms that link premature aging and cancer.

In the version of this article initially published, a sentence on page 1156 stated, "This disease was named SPRTN syndrome," in reference to the genetic syndrome described by Lessel et al. (Nat. Genet. 46, 1239–1244, 2014). However, the article by Lessel et al. did not propose a name for the new syndrome. The error has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
