Abstract excerpt
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an inherited systemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized by progressive calcification of the elastic fibers in the eye, the skin, and the cardiovascular system. The PXE locus has been mapped to chromosome 16p13.1, and was recently further refined to a 500 kb-region, containing four candidate genes : MRP1 (ABCC1), MRP6 (ABCC6), pM5, and two copies of an unknown gene, the...
