A novel mutation in the ABCA1 gene causing an atypical phenotype of Tangier disease.

Abstract excerpt

Tangier disease is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder caused by mutation in the ATP binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1) gene. Typically, Tangier disease manifests with symptoms and signs resulting from the deposition of cholesteryl esters in nonadipose tissues; chiefly, in peripheral nerves leading to neuropathy and in reticulo-endothelial organs, such as liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and tonsils, causing their...
