New ABCC6 gene mutations in German pseudoxanthoma elasticum patients.

Abstract excerpt

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE; OMIM 177850 and 264800) is a rare heritable disorder of the connective tissue affecting the extracellular matrix of the skin, eyes, gastrointestinal system, and cardiovascular system.

This study examined novel mutations in the ABCC6 gene in our cohort...
