We present a case of a 23-year-old female with characteristic skin papules and angioid streaks characteristic of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), an autosomal recessive disorder of elastic fiber mineralization. Genomic sequencing revealed a heterozygous variant in the ABCC6 gene. Despite the absence of biallelic mutations, the clinical phenotype aligns with PXE. Our focus in this report is to highlight the importance of multidisciplinary assessment, genotype-phenotype correlation, and the diagnostic role of ophthalmic findings in patients with atypical or partial PXE presentations.
我们报告一例23岁女性患者,其具有弹性假黄瘤(PXE,一种弹性纤维矿化的常染色体隐性疾病)特征性的皮肤丘疹和血管样条纹。基因组测序显示ABCC6基因存在杂合变异。尽管没有双等位基因突变,但临床表型与PXE相符。我们在本报告中的重点是强调多学科评估、基因型-表型相关性以及眼科检查结果在非典型或部分PXE表现患者中的诊断作用的重要性。
