Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BP4_StrongBS1_SupportingBS2

The NM_002047.4(GARS1):c.112G>A(p.Ala38Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000058 in 1,568,504 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A38A) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

GARS1 (HGNC:4162): (glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1) This gene encodes glycyl-tRNA synthetase, one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded enzyme is an (alpha)2 dimer which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.051151186).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0000197 (3/152186) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.0000441 (3/68034).

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The GARS1 c.112G>A; p.Ala38Thr variant (rs759499740), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 573677). This variant is only observed on four alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The alanine at codon 38 is weakly conserved, but computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.177). However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 38 of the GARS protein (p.Ala38Thr). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GARS-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 573677). 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 GARS 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. -
