Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PVS1_ModeratePM2
The NM_001605.3(AARS1):c.2845C>T(p.Gln949*) variant causes a stop gained change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,830 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
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.
