Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To illustrate a phenotypic overlap consisting of usual, but limited, or atypical manifestations of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) between heterozygous carriers of a single ABCC6 mutation and patients diagnosed with PXE, carriers of homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations. DESIGN: Evaluation for full and typical, incomplete, mild, or overlooked PXE during a 5-year period (2001-2005) based on the...
