The analysis of the ABCC6 gene was performed by polymerase chain reaction amplification of all exons and flanking intronic sequences, followed by automated nucleotide sequencing, as described previously.2 Two homozygous sequence variants were identified in the ABCC6 gene of the proband: p.R1221H and p.R1268Q.

Previously, p.R1221H has been identified as a pathogenic mutation in a patient with PXE.6 Furthermore, the arginine in the position 1221 is evolutionarily highly conserved (Fig. Login to comment

In contrast, the p.R1268Q sequence variant has been suggested to be a relatively common polymorphism with an allelic frequency of ~30% in healthy Caucasian and Japanese populations.7,8 Collectively, it appears that p.R1221H is the pathogenic mutation resulting in PXE, when present in both alleles, as in the case of the proband of this study.

(b) Sequencing of the proband`s ABCC6 gene revealed that the arginine in position 1221 in control DNA is replaced by homozygous substitution by histidine (p.R1221H) reflecting G-to-A nucleotide substitution (arrow) and confirming the diagnosis of PXE. Login to comment

The 13-year old younger brother (II-3) is a heterozygous carrier of the p.R1221H substitution and is consequently predicted not to develop PXE, similar to his parents. Login to comment
