It is characterized by an extreme deficiency of blood high density lipoprotein (HDL) and a distinctive orange-yellow coloration of the tonsils. Tangier's disease occurs in subjects homozygous for an autosomal mutant allele. Consanguinity has been demonstrated in several cases.

Biochimica et Biophysica Research Acta Effect of dietary fatty acid composition on haemostasis, platelet activation, and fibrinolysis The knowledge on the effect of dietary fatty acids on haemostasis and thrombosis is incomplete. We have therefore investigated how diets rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (based on olive oil), monounsaturated and n-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids (based on rapeseed oil), or n-6-polyunsaturated fatty acids (based on sunflower oil) influence established risk factors for coronary heart disease such as Factor VII, fibrinogen, or plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and other parameters of the haemostatic system and platelet function.

Attie Lab Research Our research Lipoprotein Assembly HDL Metabolism Members of the Lab Education Attie Lab alumni Post-doc information ... UW-Madison Biochemistry and Cell Biology of ABCA1 and HDL Deficiency Syndromes Clinical Implications HDL deficiency is strongly correlated with risk of premature heart disease. In some studies, about 30% of patients with premature heart disease have low HDL while only about 20% have elevated LDL. Thus, HDL deficiency might be the most common metabolic disorder that raises the risk of heart disease. HDL metabolism; the reverse cholesterol transport hypothesis LDL is thought to be pro-atherogenic because of its ability to deliver cholesterol to cells in the arterial wall, principally macrophages and smooth muscle cells. If there is net deposition of cholesterol to cells that have no enzymes for breaking down cholesterol, what do the cells do to prevent cholesterol overload? Cells are able to rid themselves of excess cholesterol if there is a suitable acceptor particle in its milieu. HDL is capable of taking on cholesterol. When it does, the cholesterol is converted to cholesterol ester by a blood-borne enzyme, lecithin;cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). The HDL particles can then travel to the liver where they dock with a cell surface receptor, SR-B1. The interaction of HDL with SR-B1 results in the selective transfer of cholesterol esters to the inside of the hepatocytes. Here, the cholesterol can be converted to bile acids or simply secreted into the bile, along with phospholipids and bile acids. Biliary secretion is the most important route of excretion of cholesterol.

High-throughput functional genomics technology is not enoughyou have to do the biology, too 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
