Genes affected
QARS1 (HGNC:9751): (glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase 1) 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. In metazoans, 9 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases specific for glutamine (gln), glutamic acid (glu), and 7 other amino acids are associated within a multienzyme complex. Although present in eukaryotes, glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (QARS) is absent from many prokaryotes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, in which Gln-tRNA(Gln) is formed by transamidation of the misacylated Glu-tRNA(Gln). Glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 477841). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with QARS-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu196*) in the QARS gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in QARS are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24656866, 25471517). -
