Genes affected

AIMP1 (HGNC:10648): (aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex interacting multifunctional protein 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that is specifically induced by apoptosis, and it is involved in the control of angiogenesis, inflammation, and wound healing. The release of this cytokine renders the tumor-associated vasculature sensitive to tumor necrosis factor. The precursor protein is identical to the p43 subunit, which is associated with the multi-tRNA synthetase complex, and it modulates aminoacylation activity of tRNA synthetase in normal cells. This protein is also involved in the stimulation of inflammatory responses after proteolytic cleavage in tumor cells. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 20. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.003%). Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic (ClinVar ID: VCV000162377 / PMID: 24958424 / 3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Variant summary: AIMP1/SCYE1 c.115C>T (p.Gln39X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic in the ClinVar database. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 31406 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.115C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous individuals of Filipino ancestry affected with Hypomyelinating Leukodystrophy 3 (e.g. Armstrong_2014, Khan_2019, Gupta_2020). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Both laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic (n=1) or likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln39*) in the AIMP1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in AIMP1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21092922). This variant is present in population databases (rs724159969, gnomAD 0.06%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with AIMP1-related conditions (PMID: 24958424, 30828585, 32531460). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162377). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The AIMP1 c.115C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Gln39*). This variant has been reported in the homozygous state in individuals with autosomal recessive infantile-onset progressive neurodegenerative disease (Armstrong et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24958424; Khan et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30828585). Nonsense variants in AIMP1 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
