Genes affected
AARS2 (HGNC:21022): (alanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases play critical roles in mRNA translation by charging tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded protein is a mitochondrial enzyme that specifically aminoacylates alanyl-tRNA. Mutations in this gene are a cause of combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 8.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 199 of the AARS2 protein (p.Arg199Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs200105202, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with leukoencephalopathy (PMID: 24808023, 27749956). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 213963). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt AARS2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.595C>T (p.R199C) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the AARS2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 595, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 199 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.01% (26/282578) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.02% (23/128984) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This alteration has been detected in the homozygous state, and in trans with an AARS2 pathogenic mutation, in multiple individuals with mitochondrial alanyl-tRNA synthetase deficiency (Szpisjak, 2017; Carle, 2018; Lynch, 2016; Taglia, 2018; Srivastava, 2019; Xie, 2020; Cohen, 2022; Dallabona, 2014). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
