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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Baylor Genetics	May 01, 2019	This variant was determined to be of uncertain significance according to ACMG Guidelines, 2015 [PMID:25741868]. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jul 13, 2022	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 423 of the FARS2 protein (p.Arg423Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs148921184, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with developmental delay, hypotonia, and speech delay (PMID: 28419689). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 214337). 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 expected to disrupt FARS2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FARS2 function (PMID: 28419689). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -

Variant summary: FARS2 c.1268G>A (p.Arg423Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Ferrodoxin-fold anticodon-binding domain (IPR005121) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.8e-05 in 251270 control chromosomes. c.1268G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with developmental delay and hypotonia (Kartvelishvili_2017). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with FARS2-Related Disorders. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28419689). Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The c.1268G>A (p.R423Q) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 6) of the FARS2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1268, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 423 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
