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]

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.64).
BP6
Variant 16-75635969-T-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-75635969-T-C is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 227454.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.525 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000904 (1322/1461866) while in subpopulation MID AF = 0.0213 (123/5766). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0183. There are 4 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 685 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
