Genes affected

KARS1 (HGNC:6215): (lysyl-tRNA synthetase 1) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. Lysyl-tRNA synthetase is a homodimer localized to the cytoplasm 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Asn85Ile variant in KARS has not been previously reported in individuals w ith hearing loss, but has been identified in 1/30782 South Asian chromosome by t he Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs117041419). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. Co mputational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong sup port for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significa nce of the p.Asn85Ile variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2 (Rich ards 2015). -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.254A>T (p.N85I) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 2) of the KARS gene. This alteration results from a A to T substitution at nucleotide position 254, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 85 to be replaced by an isoleucine (I). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
