TTPA variants have been associated with Ataxia with isolated vitamin E deficiency, OMIM:277460 and it is a definitive G2P gene for the same condition. Numerous TTPA variants have been reported in OMIM:277460 and it would appear that neuropathy is a common feature of this condition (PMID: 24369383).

This gene has changed ratings because the panel for R78 was going to be a broad panel (to include conditions where neuropathy is part of a more complex phenotype or where there is overlap with another neurological presentation eg. HSP) but subsequently during the follow up call on 21st June with the Test Group it was agreed that it was more clinically relevant for R78 to be restricted to genes that are associated with isolated neuropathy, which this panel represents. For genes that represent the broader phenotype see https://panelapp.genomicsengland.co.uk/panels/85/.

Eripheral neuropathy well established part of this complex phenotype. Now that R78 inlcudes complex phenotypes this gene should be included
