Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) research


PXE International is the prime force in conducting basic and clinical research and providing financial support - $1.7 million over the past 17 years! - for applied translational research, product development, and treatment development for pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). We steward the intellectual property to equitably advance products and services around the world for the individuals and families living with PXE.
 


Do you have a child with PXE? We need you for a research study!


An important component in learning about the signs and symptoms of PXE is studying the progression of PXE in children. We are now recruiting for a study involving children 18 years and younger who have been diagnosed with PXE. You will answer questions about your child's clinical symptoms of PXE and donate a sample (a simple cheek swab) of your child's DNA for analysis. Please email Abbie Moore, PXE International's Research Director, immediately for more information.

 Or call 202.362.9599, extension 252.
