Genetic Variant WARS2:p.Arg319Leu (chr1-119033038-C-A) – ACMG Classification: Likely_benign (-2 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2BP4_Strong

The NM_015836.4(WARS2):c.956G>T(p.Arg319Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R319H) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

WARS2 (HGNC:12730): (tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. Two forms of tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase exist, a cytoplasmic form, named WARS, and a mitochondrial form, named WARS2. This gene encodes the mitochondrial tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase. Two alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
