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

not provided Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 08, 2014p.Thr407Met (ACG>ATG): c.1220 C>T in exon 7 of the FARS2 gene (NM_006567.3). The T407M variant has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The T407M variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity and size. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, this variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic mutation, however the possibility that it is a benign variant cannot be excluded. The variant is found in MITONUC-MITOP panel(s). -
Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 14 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 07, 2022This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 407 of the FARS2 protein (p.Thr407Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs372054960, gnomAD 0.04%). 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: 214331). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -
