Genes affected
FARS2 (HGNC:21062): (phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a protein that transfers phenylalanine to its cognate tRNA. This protein localizes to the mitochondrion and plays a role in mitochondrial protein translation. Mutations in this gene can cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 14 (Alpers encephalopathy). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Submissions by phenotype

Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 14 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 10, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg307*) in the FARS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FARS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22833457). This variant is present in population databases (rs148620369, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FARS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 473317). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
