Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2

The NM_024537.4(CARS2):​c.1658T>C​(p.Leu553Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L553L) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

CARS2 (HGNC:25695): (cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a putative member of the class I family of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. These enzymes play a critical role in protein biosynthesis by charging tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. This protein is encoded by the nuclear genome but is likely to be imported to the mitochondrion where it is thought to catalyze the ligation of cysteine to tRNA molecules. A splice-site mutation in this gene has been associated with a novel progressive myoclonic epilepsy disease with similar symptoms to MERRF syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017]

The c.1658T>C (p.L553P) alteration is located in exon 15 (coding exon 15) of the CARS2 gene. This alteration results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1658, causing the leucine (L) at amino acid position 553 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
