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

Variant summary: TTPA c.487delT (p.Trp163GlyfsX13) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.9e-05 in 277072 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.487delT has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Ataxia with Vitamin E Deficiency, which vitamin E levels were significantly decreased (<10%) (Hentati 1996, Cavalier 1998, Becker 2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp163Glyfs*13) in the TTPA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TTPA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9463307, 26068213). This variant is present in population databases (rs748164236, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (PMID: 8602747, 9463307, 12907280, 15300460, 27274910). This variant is also known as 485delT, 486delT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188951). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
