Genes affected
KARS1 (HGNC:6215): (lysyl-tRNA synthetase 1) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. Lysyl-tRNA synthetase is a homodimer localized to the cytoplasm which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The c.1099G>A (p.E367K) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 8) of the KARS gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1099, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 367 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), the KARS c.1099G>A alteration was not observed among 6,498 individuals tested. Allele frequency data for this nucleotide position are not currently available from the 1000 Genomes Project or the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) Database, and the alteration is not currently listed in the Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP). Rare missense alleles commonly exhibit a deleterious effect on protein function (Kryukov, 2007; Tennessen, 2012; please note that some variants may appear to be rare due to ethnic underrepresentation in the database). The p.E367 amino acid is conserved in available vertebrate species. The p.E367K alteration is predicted to be probably damaging by Polyphen and deleterious by SIFT in silico analyses. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear The alteration is not observed in healthy cohorts:_x000D_ Based on data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), the KARS c.1099G>A alteration was not observed among 6,498 individuals tested.

The altered amino acid is conserved throughout evolution:_x000D_ The p.E367 amino acid is conserved in available vertebrate species. The amino acid is located in a functionally important protein domain:_x000D_ The p.E367 amino acid is located in the catalytic domain of the KARS protein. The function of the catalytic domain is to bind ATP, the tRNA acceptor stem, and to catalyze the aminoacylation reaction (Desogus, 2000). The alteration is predicted deleterious by in silico models:_x000D_ The p.E367K alteration is predicted to be probably damaging by Polyphen and deleterious by SIFT in silico analyses. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
