Laron syndrome is a genetic disease that causes dwarfism but
also proects the body from diabetes and from nearly all forms of cancer.
A medical goal is to understand this process and find a way
to replicate it in normal adults so that they will live longer yet without
diseases associated with gerontology, cancer or diabetes as they age.
A doctor from USC is studying a population with Laron
syndrome in Loja , Ecuador .
