A first description of ataxia with vitamin E deficiency associated with MT-TG gene mutation.

Abstract excerpt

Ataxia with isolated vitamin E deficiency (AVED) is a rare autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia disorder that is caused by a mutation in the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein gene TTPA, leading to a lower level of serum vitamin E. Although it is almost clinically similar to Friedreich's ataxia, its devastating neurological features can be prevented with appropriate treatment. In this study, we present a patient...
