Abstract

Genes have a major role in the control of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Here we have identified two Tangier disease (TD) families, confirmed 9q31 linkage and refined the disease locus to a limited genomic region containing the gene encoding the ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC1). Familial HDL deficiency (FHA) is a more frequent cause of low HDL levels. On the basis of independent linkage and meiotic recombinants, we localized the FHA locus to the same genomic region as the TD locus. Mutations in ABC1 were detected in both TD and FHA, indicating that TD and FHA are allelic. This indicates that the protein encoded by ABC1 is a key gatekeeper influencing intracellular cholesterol transport, hence we have named it cholesterol efflux regulatory protein (CERP).

  • Defects in the ABCA1 gene cause Tangier disease, characterized by HDL deficiency in plasma, accumulation of cholesteryl esters in lymphatic tissue, peripheral neuropathy, and increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

    “Defects in the ABCA1 gene cause Tangier disease, which is characterized by HDL deficiency in plasma, accumulation of cholesteryl esters in lymphatic tissue, peripheral neuropathy, and an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (Bodzioch et al., 1999; Brooks-Wilson et al., 1999; Rust et al., 1999).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
