Genes affected

TTPA (HGNC:12404): (alpha tocopherol transfer protein) This gene encodes a soluble protein that binds alpha-trocopherol, a form of vitamin E, with high selectivity and affinity. This protein plays an important role in regulating vitamin E levels in the body by transporting vitamin E between membrane vesicles and facilitating the secretion of vitamin E from hepatocytes to circulating lipoproteins. Mutations in this gene cause hereditary vitamin E deficiency (ataxia with vitamin E deficiency, AVED) and retinitis pigmentosa. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 192 of the TTPA protein (p.Arg192His). This variant is present in population databases (rs121917850, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ataxia with isolated vitamin E deficiency (PMID: 9463307). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9140). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt TTPA protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on TTPA function (PMID: 15065857, 18458085, 21110980). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: TTPA c.575G>A (p.Arg192His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the CRAL-TRIO lipid binding domain (IPR001251) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 250298 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than the estimated maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in TTPA causing Ataxia with Vitamin E Deficiency (0.002), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.575G>A has been reported in the literature in three siblings affected with a milder phenotype of Ataxia with Vitamin E Deficiency, who carried a pathogenic variant in trans (Hentati_1996, Cavalier_1998). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Publications reporting experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function showed no apparent effect of the variant on in vitro transfer activity (Morley_2004, Morley_2008, Zhang_2011), and no change in intracellular localization (Chung_2016). Inferred from the crystal structure, the Arg192 amino acid side-chain participates in the formation of a positively charged cleft required for phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) binding, and a different missense (R59W) affecting a residue also involved in the formation of this pocket, was demonstrated to result in loss of PIPs binding ability, and was not able to stimulate alpha-tocopherol secretion in hepatoma cells, although it didn't affect in vitro transfer activity (Kono_2013). Three submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified it as uncertain significance (n=2) or likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The TTPA c.575G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg192His. This variant was reported in the compound heterozygous state in an individual with ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (Hentati et al. 1996. PubMed ID: 8602747). This variant is reported in 0.010% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/8-63976853-C-T). Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
