Perturbation of specific pro-mineralizing signalling pathways in human and murine pseudoxanthoma elasticum
29 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is characterized by skin (papular lesions), ocular (subretinal neovascularisation) and cardiovascular manifestations (peripheral artery disease), due to mineralization and fragmentation of elastic fibres in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene, the mechanisms underlying this disease remain unknown. The knowledge on the molecular...
