  1. Tangier Disease: An autosomal recessively inherited disorder caused by mutation of ATP-binding cassette transporters involved in cellular cholesterol removal (reverse-cholesterol transport). It is characterized by near absence of alpha-lipoproteins (high-density lipoproteins) in blood. The massive tissue deposition of cholesterol esters results in hepatomegaly; splenomegaly; retinitis pigmentosa; large orange tonsils; and often sensory polyneuropathy. The disorder was first found among inhabitants of Tangier Island in the Chesapeake Bay, MD.
