Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Tangier Disease is an inherited blood disorder involving decreased concentrations of fat compounds in the blood called high density lipoproteins. Large amounts of these compounds may accumulate in certain organs of the body causing tissue discoloration. In later stages, these accumulations may cause organ enlargement and/or blood circulation problems. National Tay-Sachs and Allied Diseases Association, Inc.

    Extractions: A rare autosomal recessive familial disorder of cholesterol metabolism, characterized by extremely low HDL-cholesterol, reduced total cholesterol, and increased triglyceride levels in serum. Clinical features include the onset before age 20 years of HEPATOMEGALY; SPLENOMEGALY; the deposition of cholesterol in each TONSIL (creating a yellow-orange appearance); and RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA. A sensorimotor or distal sensory POLYNEUROPATHY occurs in approximately 50% of affected individuals. The condition is associated with decreased synthesis and increased catabolism of APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I and APOLIPOPROTEIN A-II, and a defect in cellular signaling and mobilization of lipids.

    Extractions: Allan B. Haberman, Ph.D. January 2000 (updated on May 31, 2000) As researchers race to complete the sequencing of the human genome, functional genomics is becoming increasingly important for the success of companies' genomics-based drug discovery and development efforts. It is not enough to know sequence information in order to utilize genomics to develop breakthrough drugs and diagnostics. One must also understand how genes and their products work, how they interact in pathways within the cell and the organism, and what roles they play in health and disease. As a result, drug discovery researchers are moving into a "post-genomic", functional genomics era. Functional genomics aims to discover the biological function of particular genes, and how sets of genes and their products work together in health and disease. In its broadest definition, functional genomics encompasses many traditional molecular genetic and other biological approaches. More recently, however, functional genomics has come to be used to describe high-throughput approaches to whole-genome or system-wide molecular genetic studies. Many leading pharmaceutical companies are making major investments in this field, often partnering with smaller genomics and biotechnology companies that are developing functional genomics platform technologies. Haberman Associates, working together with Cambridge Healthtech Institute (CHI) has produced a comprehensive report, entitled
