Genetic Variant NM_005051.3:c.25C>A (chr3-49104709-G-T) – ACMG Classification: Benign (-13 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points: 0P and 13B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2

The NM_005051.3(QARS1):c.25C>A(p.Leu9Ile) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00206 in 1,612,830 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 4 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L9V) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

QARS1 (HGNC:9751): (glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase 1) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. In metazoans, 9 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases specific for glutamine (gln), glutamic acid (glu), and 7 other amino acids are associated within a multienzyme complex. Although present in eukaryotes, glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (QARS) is absent from many prokaryotes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, in which Gln-tRNA(Gln) is formed by transamidation of the misacylated Glu-tRNA(Gln). Glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.014008164).

BP6

Variant 3-49104709-G-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-49104709-G-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 384247.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00213 (324/152372) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.00287 (44/15310). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0023. There are 2 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 176 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.

BS2

High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 2 AR gene
