A University of Michigan physician will be appearing as a guest expert on "The Dr. Oz Show" on Monday.

Jeffrey Innis, director of pediatric genetics at U-M's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital will be a guest with his 6-year-old patient Kaylee, covering Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the syndrome is a genetic condition in which patients experience dramatic, rapid appearance of aging in childhood. It's a rare condition affecting 1 in 4 million newborns. More than 130 cases have been reported in scientific literature since 1886 when the syndrome was first described.

The show is scheduled to air at 3 p.m. on WDIV-TV Detroit. A description of the segment says it will discuss signs to look for in a diagnosis of progeria and how to respond, as well as the "mysteries of aging" the syndrome reveals.

Dr. Mehmet Oz is a heart surgeon and a former "Oprah Winfrey Show" health expert who now has his own show discussing a range of health topics.

It is the second time within a month, a person from the Ann Arbor area will be a guest on the show. In February, Chelsea resident Susan Urquhart was featured as a guest on the show to talk about her own experience with having a hysterectomy.
