Genes affected

TKT (HGNC:11834): (transketolase) This gene encodes a thiamine-dependent enzyme which plays a role in the channeling of excess sugar phosphates to glycolysis in the pentose phosphate pathway. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

The c.1558G>A (p.E520K) alteration is located in exon 12 (coding exon 12) of the TKT gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1558, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 520 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
