Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B.
The NM_020320.5(RARS2):c.1A>C(p.Met1?) variant causes a initiator codon change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000805 in 1,614,092 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★).

This variant is present in population databases (rs774923951, gnomAD 0.004%). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PMID: 26083569, 26795593, 32860008). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1457359). This variant disrupts a region of the RARS2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Lys158del) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22086604, 27061686). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the RARS2 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 176. -
