Individuals most commonly present with angioid streaks of the retina found on routine eye examination or associated with retinal hemorrhage and/or characteristic papules in the skin. The most frequent cause of morbidity and disability in PXE is reduced vision due to complications of subretinal neovascularizations and macular atrophy. Other manifestations include premature gastrointestinal angina and/or bleeding, intermittent claudication of arm and leg muscles, stroke, renovascular hypertension, and cardiovascular complications (angina/myocardial infarction). Most affected individuals live a normal life span.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The clinical diagnosis of PXE is established in a <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/proband/">proband</a> with characteristic skin lesions and at least one characteristic retinal finding. When eye findings are characteristic, but skin findings are equivocal, identification of calcified dystrophic elastic fibers using a von Kossa or similar stain on a biopsy of potentially lesional skin establishes the diagnosis.</p><p>The molecular diagnosis of PXE is established in a <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/proband/">proband</a> by the presence of <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/biallelic/">biallelic</a> <i>ABCC6</i> pathogenic variants identified on <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/molecular-genetic-testing/">molecular genetic testing</a>.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Treatment of manifestations:</i> Management requires coordinated input from multidisciplinary specialists; care by a retina specialist including intraocular injection of anti-angiogenic drugs for the treatment of macular neovascularization when indicated; standard-of-care interventions for gastrointestinal bleeding, claudication, stroke, renovascular hypertension, and cardiovascular complications (angina and/or myocardial infarction).</p><p><i>Surveillance:</i> Routine examination by a retina specialist; follow up as recommended by treating physicians for vascular manifestations.</p><p><i>Agents/circumstances to avoid:</i> Contact sports or racquet sports without appropriate eye and head protection; aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications because of increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding; smoking because of its vasoconstrictive properties.</p><p><i>Pregnancy management:</i> Vaginal delivery appears safe for the retina of women with PXE if no active choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is present. Women with PXE should have a retinal examination to check for active CNV, as angioid streaks alone are not an indication for medical interventions during delivery.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p>PXE is inherited in an <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/autosomal-recessive/">autosomal recessive</a> manner.

The primary skin lesion is a papule that is somewhat darker than the person's natural skin tone, i.e., yellowish on white skin, black on brown skin, usually seen on the lateral aspect of the neck or the flexural creases (e.g., the antecubital fossae, axillae, groin, or popliteal fossae). Occasionally, there is periumbilical involvement.</p><p>The papules gradually coalesce to form plaques, and eventually the skin, especially of the neck, axilla, and groin, becomes loose, lax, and redundant.</p><p>Mucous membranes can show similar yellowish lesions, most commonly the inner aspect of the lower lip and the vaginal mucosa.</p><p><b>Eye.</b> The earliest ocular finding is a diffuse mottling of the fundus known as <i>peau d'orange</i>, generally appearing between adolescence and the late second decade.</p><p>In nearly every person with PXE, angioid streaks develop between the first and second decade.</p><p>Neither angioid streaks nor <i>peau d'orange</i> affects visual acuity; however, spontaneous subretinal neovascularization and hemorrhage can occur and lead to visual distortion (metamorphopsia) and decreased visual acuity, resulting in disciform scarring and, when the macula or fovea is involved, permanent loss of central vision. In some cases, atrophy similar to geographic atrophy in age-related macular degeneration develops and can be the cause of vision loss [<a class="bk_pop" href="#pxe.REF.gliem.2016.3323">Gliem et al 2016</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#pxe.REF.risseeuw.2019.1580">Risseeuw et al 2019</a>].</p><p><b>Gastrointestinal.</b> The most common site of bleeding is the upper gastrointestinal tract, particularly the stomach. The cause of bleeding is not well understood; one theory is that it may begin with superficial bleeding from erosive gastritis, then becomes massive and uncontrolled due to defective vasoconstriction of affected arteries. Diffuse punctate bleeding and erosions can be seen on gastroscopy, but an exact source of the hemorrhage may be difficult to locate.</p><p><b>Vascular.</b> Mineralization of the internal elastic lamina of medium-sized arteries, predominantly in peripheral arteries (arms, legs) and intracranial internal carotid arteries, resulting in arterial narrowing occurs frequently in PXE. Arterial narrowing can lead to asymmetric or diminished pulses in the limbs and, if severe enough, can cause intermittent claudication of the leg and arm muscles, small strokes (cerebrovascular arteries), intestinal angina (celiac or mesenteric arteries), and renovascular hypertension (renal arteries).</p><p>Although one small series suggested an increased incidence of mitral valve prolapse in individuals with PXE [<a class="bk_pop" href="#pxe.REF.lebwohl.1982.228">Lebwohl et al 1982</a>], this has never been replicated.</p></div><div id="pxe.GenotypePhenotype_Correlations"><h3>Genotype-Phenotype Correlations</h3><p>No <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/genotype-phenotype-correlations/">genotype-phenotype correlations</a> for <i>ABCC6</i> have been identified.</p><p>In addition, the <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/phenotype/">phenotype</a> does not differ between individuals with <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/biallelic/">biallelic</a> <i>ABCC6</i> pathogenic variants and those who meet clinical diagnostic criteria but who do not have a known genetic cause.</p></div><div id="pxe.Nomenclature"><h3>Nomenclature</h3><p>Earlier reports sometimes referred to PXE as Gröndblad-Strandberg syndrome.</p></div><div id="pxe.Prevalence"><h3>Prevalence</h3><p>Prevalence data are not available.</p><p>Common disease-associated variants have been identified in individuals of European descent [<a class="bk_pop" href="#pxe.REF.pfendner.2007.621">Pfendner et al 2007</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#pxe.REF.legrand.2017.909">Legrand et al 2017</a>] and in Japanese populations [<a class="bk_pop" href="#pxe.REF.iwanaga.2017.644">Iwanaga et al 2017</a>].
