Because, as far as human beings are concerned ...
That's how I might put it.
"L'homme" meaning "the human species" may still be acceptable in France. (The foremost journal of anthropology still calls itself "L'Homme") But in anglo-saxon countries the word "man" used in this sense is under a bit of a cloud. The journal that previously called itself "Man" and the one that used to call itself "Mankind" have both changed their names to something else.
If you wanted to keep the word "man" in this context it would now sound quaint (or worse) to the kind of people who decide these things.
But your phrase would still sound best (to my ears) if you said: "As far as X is concerned". Because there is an implied contrast with other species.

Comment: "Thank you to all those who contributed with this answer. This sounds like the most appropriate answer since there is a comparison between mice and human beings. The text refers to experiments done to modify mice's chromosomes. This caused premature aging in mice. Then, there is a comparison with children who suffer from Down's syndrome --which is also a natural modification of chromosomes, and how they also show signs of senescense.

It depends...
If this is contrasting the behaviour of human infants with the young of other species then you could say it like this:
Because human children/infants suffering from this condition....
Or if it is not, and the preceding passage is also about human behaviour/health, then why not just simplify it as follows:
Because infants/children suffering from this condition....

Try to put the emphasis on what sound most natural in English, even if it means expressing in one word what the French says in five!
