Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a genetic disorder characterized by calcification of elastic fibers in dermal, ocular, and cardiovascular tissues. Recently, ABCC6 mutations were identified as causing PXE. In this follow-up study we report the investigation of 61German PXE patients from 53 families
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a mendelian disorder characterized by calcification of elastic fibers in skin, arteries, and retina. It results in dermal lesions, arterial insufficiency and retinal hemorrhages, leading to macular degeneration. PXE is transmitted either as an autosomal dominant or
