Identification and functional analysis of a naturally occurring E89K mutation in the ABCA1 gene of the WHAM chicken

Identification and functional analysis of a naturally occurring E89K mutation in the ABCA1 gene of the WHAM chicken

The Wisconsin hypoalpha mutant (WHAM) chicken has a >90% reduction in plasma HDL due to hypercatabolism by the kidney of lipid-poor apoA-I. The WHAM chickens have a recessive white skin phenotype caused by a single-gene mutation that maps to the chicken Z-chromosome. This corresponds to human 9q3...
