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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 01, 2022This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 523 of the KARS protein (p.Ile523Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs144274136, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KARS-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228757). 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 not expected to disrupt KARS protein function. 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. -

not specified Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 20, 2022The c.1569A>G (p.I523M) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 12) of the KARS gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1569, causing the isoleucine (I) at amino acid position 523 to be replaced by a methionine (M). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJul 17, 2015Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Ile523Met var iant in KARS has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, but has been identified in 0.12% (79/66738) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs144274136 ). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide stro ng support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, while the clinic al significance of the p.Ile523Met variant is uncertain, its frequency in the ge neral population suggests that it is more likely to be benign. -
