Genes affected
DARS2 (HGNC:25538): (aspartyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that specifically aminoacylates aspartyl-tRNA. Mutations in this gene are associated with leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

Leukoencephalopathy with brain stem and spinal cord involvement-high lactate syndrome Pathogenic:1
Jan 15, 2025
Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: curation

The p.Tyr30Ter variant in DARS2 has been reported in two individuals with leukoencephalopathy with brain stem and spinal cord involvement-high lactate syndrome (PMID: 33977142), and has been identified in 0.002% (1/59968) of Admixed American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs959382650). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 30, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the DARS2 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive leukoencephalopathy with brain stem and spinal cord involvement-high lactate syndrome. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive leukoencephalopathy with brain stem and spinal cord involvement-high lactate syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_supporting (Richards 2015). -
