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 -7 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.37).
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000565 (75/1327888) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.0000698 (72/1030782). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000566. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 38 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 23. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd at 7 AD gene.

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the GARS gene. The c.-45 C>T variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The c.-45 C>T variant is not observed in large population cohorts; however, limited data are available (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). This substitution occurs at a position in the 5' untranslated region that is conserved in mammals. To our knowledge, regulatory variants in GARS have not been published in association with neuropathy (Stenson et al., 2014). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
