Genes affected
EARS2 (HGNC:29419): (glutamyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a 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 glutamate to tRNA molecules. Mutations in this gene have been associated with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 12 (COXPD12). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

The G317S variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The G317S variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The G317S variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Furthermore, a missense variant at the same residue (G317C) has been reported in a patient with infantile onset, rapidly progressive mitochondrial encephalopathy with severe MRI abnormalities and lactic acidosis who underwent whole exome sequencing and in whom a known pathogenic EARS2 variant was identified on the opposite allele (in trans) (Steenweg et al. 2012). In summary, we interpret G317S as likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. -
