Abstract
We found high endothelin-l and von Willebrand factor plasma titers not only In two Individuals (daughter and father) affected with Pseudoxan thoma elasticum but also in a young unaffected relative. These finding s raise the possiblity that these molecules could be the first biochem ical fingerprints of this, still not clinically evident, rare inherite d disorder of elastic tissue.
