GlossaryPseudoxanthoma Elasticum

rare genetic disorder causing skin, eye, and cardiovascular issues

Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the connective tissue, leading to the progressive calcification and fragmentation of elastic fibers in the skin, eyes, and cardiovascular system. This can result in symptoms such as yellowish papules on the skin, vision problems due to changes in the retina, and an increased risk of cardiovascular issues.
