Abstract excerpt
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is usually caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in ABCC6, leading to reduced ATP transport and decreased levels of circulating calcification inhibitor inorganic pyrophosphate. Variants of unknown significance and incomplete penetrant variants complicate genetic counseling. This study assessed whether plasma pyrophosphate levels can aid in interpreting their pathogenicity or penetrance....
