<p>The present invention relates to nucleic acids corresponding to the various exons and introns of the ABC1 gene, which is a causal gene for pathologies linked to a cholesterol metabolism dysfunction inducing diseases such as atherosclerosis, more particularly disruption in the reverse transport of cholesterol, and more particularly familial HDL deficiencies (FHD), such as Tangier disease. The present invention also relates to ABC1 cDNAs encoding the novel full length ABC1 protein. The invention also relates to means for the detection of polymorphisms in general, and of mutations in particular, in the ABC1 gene or in the corresponding protein produced by the allelic form of the ABC1 gene.</p> |
