Genes affected

RARS2 (HGNC:21406): (arginyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This nuclear gene encodes a protein that localizes to the mitochondria, where it catalyzes the transfer of L-arginine to its cognate tRNA, an important step in translation of mitochondrially-encoded proteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 6 (PCH6). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1970672). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.His353Alafs*15) in the RARS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RARS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17847012, 22569581, 26083569). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RARS2-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
