Preferred Label : tangier disease;
MeSH definition : An autosomal recessively inherited disorder caused by mutation of ATP-BINDING CASSETTE
TRANSPORTERS involved in cellular cholesterol removal (reverse-cholesterol transport).
It is characterized by near absence of ALPHA-LIPOPROTEINS (high-density lipoproteins)
in blood. The massive tissue deposition of cholesterol esters results in HEPATOMEGALY;
SPLENOMEGALY; RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA; large orange tonsils; and often sensory POLYNEUROPATHY.
The disorder was first found among inhabitants of Tangier Island in the Chesapeake
Bay, MD.;
