Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the ATP-binding cassette A1 (ABCA1) transporter cause the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) deficiency syndromes of Tangier disease and familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia (FHA). Between individuals carrying ABCA1 mutations, the expression of FHA can be highly variable. Using denaturing HPLC (dHPLC) and direct promoter sequencing we screened the ABCA1 gene of a family with Tangier disease and variable...
