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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpMar 09, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the RARS2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Lys158del) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22086604, 27061686). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1457359). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PMID: 26083569, 26795593, 32860008). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs774923951, gnomAD 0.004%). This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the RARS2 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 176. -
