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]

Familial isolated deficiency of vitamin E Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineDec 22, 2014The p.Gln7SerfsX64 variant in TTPA has not been previously reported in individuals with disease but has been identified in 0.016% (1/6134) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 7 and leads to a premature termination codon 64 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Homozygous or compound heterozygous loss of function variants in TTPA have been shown to cause ataxia with isolated vitamin E deficiency. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for ataxia with isolated vitamin E deficiency in an autosomal recessive manner. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 28, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln7Serfs*64) 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 (rs760014795, gnomAD 0.09%). 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: 208623). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
