Genes affected
GARS1 (HGNC:4162): (glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1) This gene encodes glycyl-tRNA synthetase, one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded enzyme is an (alpha)2 dimer 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. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -19 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.42).
BP6
Variant 7-30632305-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr7-30632305-C-T is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 219915.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.691 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00127 (193/152262) while in subpopulation SAS AF = 0.00207 (10/4822). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00155. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 103 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 193 AD gene.

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease.
