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]

WARS2-AS1 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.09048938 fraction of the gene.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

The c.90+2T>A intronic alteration consists of a T to A substitution two nucleotides after exon 1 of the WARS2 gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice donor site are typically deleterious in nature (Richards, 2015). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
