Genes affected

QARS1 (HGNC:9751): (glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase 1) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. In metazoans, 9 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases specific for glutamine (gln), glutamic acid (glu), and 7 other amino acids are associated within a multienzyme complex. Although present in eukaryotes, glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (QARS) is absent from many prokaryotes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, in which Gln-tRNA(Gln) is formed by transamidation of the misacylated Glu-tRNA(Gln). Glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -17 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.77).

BP6

Variant 3-49101689-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-49101689-G-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 544149.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

BP7

Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-3.11 with no splicing effect.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.0000424 (62/1461832) while in subpopulation MID AF = 0.00174 (10/5732). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000946. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 43 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
