Genes affected
DARS1 (HGNC:2678): (aspartyl-tRNA synthetase 1) This gene encodes a member of a multienzyme complex that functions in mediating the attachment of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs. The encoded protein ligates L-aspartate to tRNA(Asp). Mutations in this gene have been found in patients showing hypomyelination with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and leg spasticity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2014]

Hypomyelination with brain stem and spinal cord involvement and leg spasticity Pathogenic:1
Sep 13, 2017
Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A heterozygous missense variant, NM_001349.2(DARS):c.1277T>C, has been identified in exon 14 of 16 of the DARS gene. This substitution creates a major amino acid change of a leucine to serine at position 426, NP_001340.2(DARS):p.(Leu426Ser). The leucine residue at this position has very high conservation (100 vertebrates, UCSC). It is located within an aminoacyl tRNA synthetase class II domain. In-silico predictions for this variant are consistently pathogenic (Polyphen, SIFT, CADD, Mutation Taster). The variant is present in the gnomAD database at a frequency of 0.0001 (0 homozygotes). The variant has been previously described in a homozygous state as pathogenic in a patient with leukoencephalopathy (Wolf, N. et al., (2015)). Based on the information available at the time of curation, this variant has been classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC. -

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

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 426 of the DARS protein (p.Leu426Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs377510027, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of leukodystrophy (PMID: 25527264). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 488394). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
