Abnormal splicing of ABCA1 pre-mRNA in Tangier disease due to a IVS2 +5G>C mutation in ABCA1 gene

Two point mutations of ABCA1 gene were found in a patient with Tangier disease (TD): i) G>C in intron 2 (IVS2 +5G>C) and ii) c.844 C>T in exon 9 (R282X). The IVS2 +5G>C mutation was also found in the brother of another deceased TD patient, but not in 78 controls and 33 subjects with low...
