Genes affected
VARS2 (HGNC:21642): (valyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, which catalyzes the attachment of valine to tRNA(Val) for mitochondrial translation. Mutations in this gene cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-20, and are also associated with early-onset mitochondrial encephalopathies. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 09, 2022This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 38 of the VARS2 protein (p.Ser38Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs145694863, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with VARS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1300565). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 28, 2021Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 27, 2021The c.113C>A (p.S38Y) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the VARS2 gene. This alteration results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 113, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 38 to be replaced by a tyrosine (Y). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
