Abstract excerpt
We recently published the precise chromosomal localization on chromosome 16p13.1 of the genetic defect underlying pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), an inherited disorder characterized by progressive calcification of elastic fibers in skin, eye, and the cardiovascular system. Here we report the identification of mutations in the gene encoding the transmembrane transporter protein, ABC-C6 (also known as MRP-6), one...
