What is this disorder called?!


Question: I watched a documentary before that had a 7 and 12 year old, and a boy in high school with this disorder. i forgot what its called but it has to do with growing old fast. all three children have grey hairs, and are wrinkling stuff like that, basically what happens to old people. they said in the documentary that these children have some sort of hormone problem. i forgot what the disorder was called so i was wondering if any of you know?
