Genes affected

FARS2 (HGNC:21062): (phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a protein that transfers phenylalanine to its cognate tRNA. This protein localizes to the mitochondrion and plays a role in mitochondrial protein translation. Mutations in this gene can cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 14 (Alpers encephalopathy). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 223 of the FARS2 protein (p.Arg223Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs202060864, gnomAD 0.2%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with epileptic encephalopathy (PMID: 32597768). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 214330). 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 expected to disrupt FARS2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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. -

The FARS2 p.Arg223Cys variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs202060864), ClinVar (classified as likely pathogenic by GeneDx and uncertain significance by Invitae. The variant was identified in control databases in 76 of 281418 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0002701 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: European (Finnish) in 47 of 25106 chromosomes (freq: 0.001872), Ashkenazi Jewish in 10 of 10350 chromosomes (freq: 0.000966), European (non-Finnish) in 17 of 128836 chromosomes (freq: 0.000132) and African in 2 of 24928 chromosomes (freq: 0.00008), but was not observed in the Latino, East Asian, Other or South Asian populations. The p.Arg223 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms, and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
