Extractions: Dominique Verlaan Cholesterol Efflux: Tangier Disease and the Abc1 gene Tangier Disease (TD) is a rare autosommaly recessive inherited Mendelian disease. Affected individuals usually present very large orange tonsils, enlarged liver, spleen and lymph nodes and most importantly have reduced level of high density lipoproteins (HDL) in their plasma as well as hypocholesterolemia. TD was previously linked to chromosome 9q31. Brooks-Wilson et al. (1999) have done linkage analysis in two TD families in the region of 9q31 and have found a 10 cM candidate region. Mutation screening was performed on three possible gene found in that region, which could be involved in cholesterol efflux. The two TD families were found to have mutations in the Abc1 gene. Those mutations segregate with complete concordance within the family. TD and familial HDL deficiency (FHA) are also shown to be allelic disorder. The Abc1 gene encodes an ATP-binding cassette transporter and is a key gatekeeper in intracellular cholesterol transport. It is part of a superfamily of conserved protein involved in membrane transport of diverse substrates such as amino acids, peptides, vitamins and steroid hormones. Orso et al.

Tangier disease (TD) is a human genetic disorder associated with defective apolipoprotein-I-induced lipid efflux and increased atherosclerotic susceptibility. It has been linked to mutations in the ATP binding cassette protein A1, ABCA1. Here we describe the establishment of permanent Tangier cell lines using telomerase. Ectopic expression of the catalytic subunit of human telomerase extended the life span of control and TD skin fibroblasts, and (in contrast to immortalization procedures using viral oncogenes) did not impair apolipoprotein A-I-induced lipid efflux. The key characteristics of TD fibroblasts (reduced cholesterol and phospholipid efflux) were observed both in primary and telomerase-immortalized fibroblasts from two unrelated homozygous patients.

Haberman Associates: Functional Genomics, January 2000 in the gene for a protein known as ABC1 are the cause of a rare human genetic disease (involving abnormalities in lipid metabolism) called tangier disease. http://www.biopharmconsortium.com/articlejan2000.html
Extractions: Allan B. Haberman, Ph.D. January 2000 (updated on May 31, 2000) As researchers race to complete the sequencing of the human genome, functional genomics is becoming increasingly important for the success of companies' genomics-based drug discovery and development efforts. It is not enough to know sequence information in order to utilize genomics to develop breakthrough drugs and diagnostics. One must also understand how genes and their products work, how they interact in pathways within the cell and the organism, and what roles they play in health and disease. As a result, drug discovery researchers are moving into a "post-genomic", functional genomics era. Functional genomics aims to discover the biological function of particular genes, and how sets of genes and their products work together in health and disease. In its broadest definition, functional genomics encompasses many traditional molecular genetic and other biological approaches. More recently, however, functional genomics has come to be used to describe high-throughput approaches to whole-genome or system-wide molecular genetic studies. Many leading pharmaceutical companies are making major investments in this field, often partnering with smaller genomics and biotechnology companies that are developing functional genomics platform technologies. Haberman Associates, working together with Cambridge Healthtech Institute (CHI) has produced a comprehensive report, entitled
