Genes affected
WARS2 (HGNC:12730): (tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) 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. Two forms of tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase exist, a cytoplasmic form, named WARS, and a mitochondrial form, named WARS2. This gene encodes the mitochondrial tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase. Two alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoAug 29, 2018DNA sequence analysis of the WARS2 gene demonstrated a one base pair deletion in exon 6, c.797del. This deletion is predicted to result in a frameshift and creation of a premature stop codon nine amino acids downstream, p.Pro266Argfs*10. The c.797del has been described at a low population frequency of 0.004% in gnomAD. The second sequence change identified, c.938A>T, occurs in exon 6 and results in an amino acid change, p.Lys313Met. The p.Lys313Met change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the WARS2 protein that is known to be functional. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a low population frequency of 0.02% (dbSNP rs145867327). The c.797del and c.938A>T sequence changes have been reported in the trans state (on different chromosomes) in two affected siblings with WARS2-related phenotypes (Wortmann et al., 2017. Hum Mutat 38: 1786-1795). -
