Here is information on Tangiers disease:

I think your HDL's would be much lower than you have.

Yours is in a common range. I once had my endo tell me his HDL which was 34--lower than yours. He was envious of my typically high reading.

At one time HDL was a huge factor, a good thing to have. But now there are details about this that cloud the issue:
This is called "dysfunctional HDL"....

Testing at the doctor's office does not reveal which you have or how much of it yet.
