Genetic Variant NM_005051.3:c.790-2_806dupAGGTACGTACCCGGTTCCC (chr3-49101424-C-CGGGAACCGGGTACGTACCT) – ACMG Classification: Likely_pathogenic (8 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PVS1

The NM_005051.3(QARS1):c.790-2_806dupAGGTACGTACCCGGTTCCC(p.Pro270GlyfsTer40) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P269P) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]
