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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1719T>G (p.N573K) alteration is located in exon 14 (coding exon 14) of the GARS gene. This alteration results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 1719, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 573 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces asparagine with lysine at codon 573 of the GARS protein (p.Asn573Lys). The asparagine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between asparagine and lysine. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a GARS-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 476753). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C25"). In summary, this variant has uncertain impact on GARS function. The available evidence is currently insufficient to determine its role in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies.
