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]
TTPA Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):
  • familial isolated deficiency of vitamin E

Available data are insufficient to determine the clinical significance of the variant at this time. The frequency of this variant in the general population is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational tools disagree on the variant's effect on normal protein function.

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 60 of the TTPA protein (p.Asp60Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs199636231, gnomAD 0.08%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TTPA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 448838). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt TTPA protein function. 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.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.178G>A (p.D60N) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the TTPA gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 178, causing the aspartic acid (D) at amino acid position 60 to be replaced by an asparagine (N). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
