Genes affected

VARS1 (HGNC:12651): (valyl-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. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family and is located in the class III region of the major histocompatibility complex. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

VARS1 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• neurodevelopmental disorder with microcephaly, seizures, and cortical atrophy

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE Submitted by: ClinGen, Illumina
• combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 20

  Inheritance: AR Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.56).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.394 with no splicing effect.
