Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_001349.4(DARS1):​c.1480C>A​(p.Arg494Ser) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000696 in 1,437,432 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R494C) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

DARS1 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• hypomyelination with brain stem and spinal cord involvement and leg spasticity

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG, SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), G2P

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-135907341-C-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 522693.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 10 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.74697 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.93713 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hypomyelination with brain stem and spinal cord involvement and leg spasticity.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.976
