Genes affected
CARS2 (HGNC:25695): (cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a putative member of the class I family of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. These enzymes play a critical role in protein biosynthesis by charging tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. This protein is encoded by the nuclear genome but is likely to be imported to the mitochondrion where it is thought to catalyze the ligation of cysteine to tRNA molecules. A splice-site mutation in this gene has been associated with a novel progressive myoclonic epilepsy disease with similar symptoms to MERRF syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -14 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.049557522 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.9, offset of 0 (no position change), new splice context is: tcataattgtctttataaAGgca. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
BP6
Variant 13-110683135-CTG-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr13-110683135-CTG-C is described in ClinVar as Benign. ClinVar VariationId is 421531.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00894 (1361/152320) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.0311 (1293/41558). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0297. There are 18 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 632 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
