Genes affected
RARS1 (HGNC:9870): (arginyl-tRNA synthetase 1) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. Arginyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 9 Pathogenic:2

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.003%). Start-lost is reinitiation of translation may occur at a downstream alternate start codon but still result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function as there have been pathogenic variants reported upstream of the alternate start codon. The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 24777941). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000162083 / PMID: 24777941). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Variants that affect the same initiator codon have been observed in individuals affected with clinical features of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy (PMID: 24777941, 27848944, 30791064, Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162083). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the RARS mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 73.

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1 A>G pathogenic variant in the RARS gene has previously been reported in association with hypomyelinating leukodystrophy in an individual who was compound heterozygous for another variant in RARs (Wolf et al., 2014). The pathogenic variant alters the initiator Methionine codon, and the resultant protein would be described as p.Met1? using a question mark to signify that it is not known if the loss of Met1 means that all protein translation is completely prevented or if an abnormal protein is produced using an alternate Met. Additionally, the c.1 A>G variant was not observed in approximately 6,400 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. In summary, we interpret c.1 A>G to be a pathogenic variant."
