Genes affected
AARS1 (HGNC:20): (alanyl-tRNA synthetase 1) The human alanyl-tRNA synthetase (AARS) belongs to a family of tRNA synthases, of the class II enzymes. Class II tRNA synthases evolved early in evolution and are highly conserved. This is reflected by the fact that 498 of the 968-residue polypeptide human AARS shares 41% identity witht the E.coli protein. tRNA synthases are the enzymes that interpret the RNA code and attach specific aminoacids to the tRNAs that contain the cognate trinucleotide anticodons. They consist of a catalytic domain which interacts with the amino acid acceptor-T psi C helix of the tRNA, and a second domain which interacts with the rest of the tRNA structure.

Reported in individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; however it was also identified in 2/1090 normal control chromosomes (PMID: 22009580); Reported as a variant of uncertain significance in an individual with CMT2; the patient was also found to have a variant in another gene and it was unclear if either variant was causative for the patient's phenotype (PMID: 26752306); Reported in an individual with axonal neuropathy; the R729W variant does not segregate with disease in the family as it was observed in both affected and unaffected family members and was absent in affected family members, and the patient was also found to have a variant in another gene that appears to segregate with disease in the family (PMID: 30642740); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32376792, 25817015, Elshiekh2020[article], 22009580, 26752306, 30642740) -

Significance:Benign

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to rule this variant out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -
