Genes affected
FARS2 (HGNC:21062): (phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a protein that transfers phenylalanine to its cognate tRNA. This protein localizes to the mitochondrion and plays a role in mitochondrial protein translation. Mutations in this gene can cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 14 (Alpers encephalopathy). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Submissions by phenotype

Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 14 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 24, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg386*) in the FARS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FARS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22833457). This variant is present in population databases (rs770597592, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FARS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1073793). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
FARS2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJan 30, 2024Variant summary: FARS2 c.1156C>T (p.Arg386X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251120 control chromosomes. c.1156C>T has been reported in the literature as a single heterozygous variant of FARS2 in an individual affected with complex hereditary Sensory Neuropathy (Travaglini_2018). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with FARS2-Related Disorders. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29691679). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1073793). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
