Genes affected

KARS1 (HGNC:6215): (lysyl-tRNA synthetase 1) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. Lysyl-tRNA synthetase is a homodimer localized to the cytoplasm which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: KARS1 c.1342C>T (p.Arg448Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the tRNA synthetases class II (D, K and N) domain (IPR004364) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0029 in 1613744 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 12 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 2.61 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in KARS1 causing Leukoencephalopathy, progressive, infantile-onset, with or without deafness phenotype (0.0011). c.1342C>T has been reported in the presumed heterozygous state in the literature in association with hereditary motor neuropathy (example, Antoniadi_2015) without strong evidence for causality. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with KARS1-related conditions. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226679). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
