A novel nonsense mutation in the ABC1 gene causes a severe syringomyelia-like phenotype of Tangier disease.

Abstract excerpt

Tangier disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the recently identified ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 gene (ABC1). A typical clinical manifestation of Tangier disease is peripheral neuropathy. Former studies differentiated between two manifestations: the more frequent mono- or polyneuropathic form and a syringomyelia-like type. It is unknown whether specific mutations in the...
