Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1 PM2

The NM_020320.5(RARS2):​c.189del​(p.Gln64LysfsTer5) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000685 in 1,459,850 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

RARS2 (HGNC:21406): (arginyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This nuclear gene encodes a protein that localizes to the mitochondria, where it catalyzes the transfer of L-arginine to its cognate tRNA, an important step in translation of mitochondrially-encoded proteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 6 (PCH6). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
