Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a genetic disease that causes mineralization of elastic fibers in some tissues. The most common problems arise in the skin and eyes, and later in blood vessels in the form of premature atherosclerosis. [2] [3] [4] PXE is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the ABCC6 gene on the short arm of chromosome 16 ...

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), also known as Bridges–Good syndrome, chronic granulomatous disorder, and Quie syndrome, [1] is a diverse group of hereditary diseases in which certain cells of the immune system have difficulty forming the reactive oxygen compounds (most importantly the superoxide radical due to defective phagocyte NADPH oxidase) used to kill certain ingested pathogens.

Mutations in this protein cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). [9] The most common mutations, R1141X and 23-29del, account for about 25% of the found mutations.

Pseudoexfoliation syndrome, often abbreviated as PEX [1] and sometimes as PES or PXS, is an aging-related systemic disease manifesting itself primarily in the eyes which is characterized by the accumulation of microscopic granular amyloid-like protein fibers. [2] Its cause is unknown, although there is speculation that there may be a genetic ...
