Notes

rs58596362, also known as c.1824C>T and p.Gly608=, represents a rare mutation in the LMNA gene on chromosome 1. The rare rs58596362(T) allele is reported to act as an autosomal dominant mutation leading to Hutchinson-Gilford progeria. However, this allele has been reported in data from 23andMe patients who lack progeria symptoms, so it seems likely that this is due to a technical error. See also OMIM 150330.0022

C;T

While this should indicate progeria, 23andMe is incorrectly reporting this for many users. see additional discussion at rs58596362
