    Variants in genes encoding pyrophosphate metabolizing enzymes are associated with Pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

    Human
    Abstract:
    Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by progressive calcification and fragmentation of elastic fibers. Because of the great clinical variability between PXE patients the involvement of modifier genes was recently suggested. Therefore, we investigated the association of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in selected candidate genes known to regulate cellular pyrophosphate metabolism.
