Genes affected
DARS2 (HGNC:25538): (aspartyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that specifically aminoacylates aspartyl-tRNA. Mutations in this gene are associated with leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJun 25, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 263 of the DARS2 protein (p.Arg263Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs121918207, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Leukoencephalopathy (PMID: 17384640). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1060). 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 expected to disrupt DARS2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects DARS2 function (PMID: 17384640, 23216004). 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. -
