Genes affected

QARS1 (HGNC:9751): (glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase 1) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. In metazoans, 9 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases specific for glutamine (gln), glutamic acid (glu), and 7 other amino acids are associated within a multienzyme complex. Although present in eukaryotes, glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (QARS) is absent from many prokaryotes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, in which Gln-tRNA(Gln) is formed by transamidation of the misacylated Glu-tRNA(Gln). Glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -20 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.83).
• BP6: Variant 3-49100370-C-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-49100370-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 477824.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr3-49100370-C-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_benign].
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000978 (149/152386) while in subpopulation SAS AF= 0.00124 (6/4832). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000915. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 84 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 2 AR gene
