Genes affected
CARS2 (HGNC:25695): (cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a putative member of the class I family of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. These enzymes play a critical role in protein biosynthesis by charging tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. This protein is encoded by the nuclear genome but is likely to be imported to the mitochondrion where it is thought to catalyze the ligation of cysteine to tRNA molecules. A splice-site mutation in this gene has been associated with a novel progressive myoclonic epilepsy disease with similar symptoms to MERRF syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.18579406).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000532 (81/152342) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.000867 (59/68032).

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingRevvity Omics, RevvityApr 02, 2019- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 01, 2022This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 82 of the CARS2 protein (p.Val82Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs117788141, gnomAD 0.09%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CARS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 542307). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CARS2 protein function. 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. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 19, 2024Variant summary: CARS2 c.244G>A (p.Val82Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the catalytic domain (IPR032678) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00088 (i.e. in 1418 heterozygotes) in 1606264 control chromosomes (gnomAD v4.0). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.244G>A in individuals affected with Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Defect Type 27 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 542307). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
