Abstract | OBJECTIVE: APPROACH AND RESULTS: We sequenced ABCA8 in individuals with low and high HDLc and identified, exclusively in low HDLc probands, 3 predicted deleterious heterozygous ABCA8 mutations (p.Pro609Arg [P609R], IVS17-2 A>G and p.Thr741Stop [T741X]). HDLc levels were lower in heterozygous mutation carriers compared with first-degree family controls (0.86±0.34 versus 1.17±0.26 mmol/L; P=0.005). HDLc levels were significantly decreased by 29% (P=0.01) in Abca8b-/- mice on a high- cholesterol diet compared with wild-type mice, whereas hepatic overexpression of human ABCA8 in mice resulted in significant increases in plasma HDLc and the first steps of macrophage-to-feces reverse cholesterol transport. Overexpression of wild-type but not mutant ABCA8 resulted in a significant increase (1.8-fold; P=0.01) of cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein AI in vitro. ABCA8 colocalizes and interacts with adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1 and further potentiates adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1-mediated cholesterol efflux. CONCLUSIONS: ABCA8 facilitates cholesterol efflux and modulates HDLc levels in humans and mice.
