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.
Brooke Greenberg, was a 20-year-old who never developed beyond the toddler stage, may provide clues to help scientists unlock the secrets of longevity and fight age-related disorders, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and heart disease.
There has been genetic sequencing of Brooke's DNA and other studies related to aging.
