Severe early-onset pulmonary alveolar proteinosis due to MARS deficiency Pathogenic:1

The F370L variant in the MARS gene has been reported previously, in trans with another missense variant, in an infant with failure to thrive, interstitial lung and liver disease, intermittent lactic acidosis, aminoaciduria, hypothyroidism, and transfusion-dependent anemia and motor delay. Functional studies showed that F370L significantly reduced the ability of MARS to couple methionine to its cognate tRNA, leading to 18% of wild type activity (vanMeel et al., 2013). The F370L variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The F370L variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. We interpret F370L as a likely pathogenic variant. -
not specified Uncertain:1
The p.F370L variant (also known as c.1108T>C), located in coding exon 10 of the MARS gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1108. The phenylalanine at codon 370 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported in one individual suspected of having Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (Volodarsky M et al. J Med Genet, 2021 Apr;58:284-288). This variant was detected as compound heterozygous finding with another alteration in MARS in one individual whose multi-organ phenotype included lung and liver disease (van Meel E et al. BMC Med Genet, 2013 Oct;14:106). In an in vitro aminoacylation assay, this variant was found to significantly reduce the ability of MARS to couple methionine to its cognate tRNA (van Meel E et al. BMC Med Genet, 2013 Oct;14:106). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MARS function (PMID: 24103465). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68463). This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 370 of the MARS protein (p.Phe370Leu). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of MARS-related conditions (PMID: 24103465, 32376792). This variant is present in population databases (rs140467171, gnomAD 0.006%). -
