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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3598734).
BP6
Variant 7-30616035-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr7-30616035-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 447371.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.0000198 (29/1461854) while in subpopulation MID AF = 0.000174 (1/5758). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000013. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 17 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 29 AD gene.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R391C variant (also known as c.1171C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the GARS gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1171. The arginine at codon 391 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was detected in an individual with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, and in an unaffected control individual in a different CMT disease cohort; however, clinical details were limited (Sivera R et al. Neurology, 2013 Oct;81:1617-25; Lupo V et al. J Mol Diagn, 2016 Mar;18:225-34). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, 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 sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 391 of the GARS protein (p.Arg391Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs370057212, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot Marie Tooth disease (PMID: 24078732). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447371). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -
