Pseudoxanthoma elasticum: cardiac findings in patients and Abcc6-deficient mouse model.
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene, is a rare multiorgan disease characterized by the mineralization and fragmentation of elastic fibers in connective tissue. Cardiac complications reportedly associated with PXE are mainly based on case reports.A cohort of 67 PXE p...
