Genes affected

FARS2 (HGNC:21062): (phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a protein that transfers phenylalanine to its cognate tRNA. This protein localizes to the mitochondrion and plays a role in mitochondrial protein translation. Mutations in this gene can cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 14 (Alpers encephalopathy). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 325 of the FARS2 protein (p.Asp325Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs764427452, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FARS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 377108). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt FARS2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: FARS2 c.973G>A (p.Asp325Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (IPR002319) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.6e-05 in 251274 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in FARS2 causing FARS2-Related Disorders, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.973G>A in individuals affected with FARS2-Related Disorders and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 377108). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
