Genes affected

AARS1 (HGNC:20): (alanyl-tRNA synthetase 1) The human alanyl-tRNA synthetase (AARS) belongs to a family of tRNA synthases, of the class II enzymes. Class II tRNA synthases evolved early in evolution and are highly conserved. This is reflected by the fact that 498 of the 968-residue polypeptide human AARS shares 41% identity witht the E.coli protein. tRNA synthases are the enzymes that interpret the RNA code and attach specific aminoacids to the tRNAs that contain the cognate trinucleotide anticodons. They consist of a catalytic domain which interacts with the amino acid acceptor-T psi C helix of the tRNA, and a second domain which interacts with the rest of the tRNA structure.

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 543231). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly426Thrfs*4) in the AARS gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in AARS are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25817015, 28493438, 34446925). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with AARS-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
