Abetalipoproteinemia

I am trying to obtain Vitamin E for intramuscular injection for a patient with abetalipoproteinemia. Can anyone give me a source for this? Our pharmacy and purchasing departments can't locate a source in the USA.

Also, is anyone aware of any trials of gene therapy for abetalipoproteinemia?
