Genes affected

GARS1 (HGNC:4162): (glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1) This gene encodes glycyl-tRNA synthetase, one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded enzyme is an (alpha)2 dimer which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

GARS1-DT (HGNC:48951): (GARS1 divergent transcript)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -20 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.77).
• BP6: Variant 7-30594697-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr7-30594697-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 359992.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.00629 (958/152292) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.01 (682/68016). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0094. There are 10 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 459 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd at 958 AD gene.

Distal spinal muscular atrophy Benign:1

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter

clinical testing

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Jan 13, 2018

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
