ABCA1 Gene

ABCA1 Gene encodes a membrane-associated protein responsible for cholesterol transport as a cholesterol efflux pump in the cellular lipid removal pathway. Mutations in this gene show codominant inheritance. While heterozygous carriers show low HDL levels and an increased risk of coronary heard disease, homozygous and compound heterozygous carriers suffer from Tangier disease
