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]

The GARS1 c.236G>A; p.Arg79Gln variant (rs369466037) is reported in the literature in an individual affected with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, although its clinical significance was not demonstrated (Volodarsky 2021). This variant is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.02% (23/128,638 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.69). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Volodarsky M et al. Comprehensive genetic sequence and copy number analysis for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in a Canadian cohort of 2517 patients. J Med Genet. 2021 Apr;58(4):284-288.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 79 of the GARS protein (p.Arg79Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs369466037, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 32376792). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188197). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt GARS protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
