Abstract

We found high endothelin-1 and von Willebrand factor plasma titers not only in two individuals (daughter and father) affected with Pseudoxanthoma elasticum but also in a young unaffected relative. These findings raise the possibility that these molecules could be the first biochemical fingerprints of this, still not clinically evident, rare inherited disorder of elastic tissue.
