(Before It's News)

In 2009, Nextbigfuture covered the curious case of Brooke Greenberg. At the time she was chronologically 16 years old but physically she was a toddler.

Brooke, who passed away last Thursday at the age of 20, had the body and cognitive function of a 1-year-old. She didn't grow after the age of 5 — and basically, she stopped aging entirely.

There has been genetic sequencing of Brooke's DNA and other studies related to aging.
