Genes affected

KARS1 (HGNC:6215): (lysyl-tRNA synthetase 1) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. Lysyl-tRNA synthetase is a homodimer localized to the cytoplasm 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Glu120Gln variant (rs11557669) has not been reported in the medical literature, or gene specific variation databases. This variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) with an overall population frequency of 0.04 percent (identified on 122 out of 282,770 chromosomes), and has been reported to ClinVar database (Variation ID: 228758). The glutamic acid at position 120 is moderately conserved and computational analyses of the effects of the p.Glu120Gln variant on protein structure and function is neutral (SIFT: tolerated, PolyPhen-2: benign). Given the borderline rarity in the population, the pathogenicity of this variant can not be completely ruled out. Overall, there is not enough evidence to classify the p.Glu120Gln variant with certainty. -

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Glu120Gln var iant in KARS has been previously reported by our laboratory in 1 individual with hearing loss. This variant has also been identified in 0.08% (95/126658) of Eur opean chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broa dinstitute.org; dbSNP rs11557669). Although this variant has been seen in the ge neral population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role . Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Glu120Gln variant is uncertain, its frequency suggests th at it is more likely to be benign. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: None -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.358G>C (p.E120Q) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 3) of the KARS gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 358, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 120 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 120 of the KARS protein (p.Glu120Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs11557669, gnomAD 0.08%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KARS-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228758). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests 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. -
