["Hypo-alpha-lipoproteinemia" (Tangier-disease) (author's transl)]. 1976

Report on a case of Tangier disease in a girl aged 4.11 m. Clinically the tonsils were hypertrophic and of a yellow color. Their stroma contained many cholesterinesters which produced the histologic picture of foam-cell xanthomatosis. The serum contained only traces of alpha-lipoprotein. The level of Cholesterin of the HDL fraction was reduced to one twelvth of the norm. The serum of her father also showed a clearly reduced content of HDL cholesterin. In the patient herself lipolytic enzymes like lecithin-cholesterin-acyltransferase, post-heparin plasma-lipoprotein lipase and hepatic triglycerid-lipase showed normal activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008049 Lipase An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. It is produced by glands on the tongue and by the pancreas and initiates the digestion of dietary fats. (From Dorland, 27th ed) EC 3.1.1.3.

D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D012157 Mononuclear Phagocyte System Mononuclear cells with pronounced phagocytic ability that are distributed extensively in lymphoid and other organs. It includes MACROPHAGES and their precursors; PHAGOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS; HISTIOCYTES; DENDRITIC CELLS; LANGERHANS CELLS; and MICROGLIA. The term mononuclear phagocyte system has replaced the former reticuloendothelial system, which also included less active phagocytic cells such as fibroblasts and endothelial cells.
