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=-0.54).
BP6
Variant 16-75628590-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-75628590-G-A is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 226681.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.474 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00239 (364/152358) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.00637 (265/41582). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00574. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 168 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
BS2

Leu586Leu in exon 14 of KARS: This variant is not expected to have clinical sign ificance because it does not alter an amino acid residue and is not located with in the splice consensus sequence. It has been identified in 0.6% (27/4396) of Af rican American chromosomes from a broad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS; dbSNP rs143267922). -
