Epidemiology and Demographics

The reported prevalence of pseudoxanthoma elasticum is about 1:25,000. Females are twice as likely to be affected as males. The disease occurs in all ethnicities, but South Africans are more likely to have PXE as a result of a founder effect (i.e. it was relatively prevalent in the small group of people from whom most South Africans descend).
