Genes affected
DARS1 (HGNC:2678): (aspartyl-tRNA synthetase 1) This gene encodes a member of a multienzyme complex that functions in mediating the attachment of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs. The encoded protein ligates L-aspartate to tRNA(Asp). Mutations in this gene have been found in patients showing hypomyelination with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and leg spasticity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2014]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 17, 2022This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of leukodystrophy (PMID: 23643384; Invitae). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DARS protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 50989). This variant is present in population databases (rs587776984, gnomAD 0.002%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 487 of the DARS protein (p.Arg487Cys). -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 04, 2016The R487C variant in the DARS gene has been reported in the homozygous state in a proband with diffuse hypomyelination of the cerebral white matter, striking abnormalities of specific brain stem structures, nystagmus, severe leg spasticity, and mild cerebellar dysfunction (Taft et al., 2013). The R487C variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The R487C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which occurs within the AA_TRNA_LIGASE_II domain at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. The R487C variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant. -
