Abstract excerpt
Pseudogenes are frequently encountered noncoding sequences with a high sequence similarity to their protein-coding paralogue. For this reason, their presence is often considered troublesome in molecular diagnostics. In pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), a disease predominantly caused by mutations in ATP-binding cassette family C member 6 (ABCC6), the presence of two pseudogenes complicates the analysis of sequence...
