Abstract excerpt
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an autosomal recessive disorder of connective tissues, which manifests with cutaneous, ophthalmologic and cardiovascular findings. PXE is caused by mutations in ABCC6 encoding a multidrug resistance protein (ABCC6, also known as MRP6). ABCC6 mutation detection rate ranges from 55% to 97% and it has been suggested that some of the remaining unidentified mutant alleles could...
