Answer 1

Prognosis is the expected course of a disease or the
patient's chance of recovery.
The prognosis predicts the outcome of a disease and therefore the future for the patient.
The word prognosis comes from the Greek prognostikos (of knowledge beforehand). It combines pro (before) and gnosis (a knowing). Hippocrates used the word prognosis, much as we do today, to mean a foretelling of the course of a disease.
As for Progeria, there currently are no diagnostic tests or treatments for progeria which remains relentlessly progressive and fatal.
