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 made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.00000618 (9/1456182) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.000202 (9/44502). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000105. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 3 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 42. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome at 6 AD gene.

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 23, 2021The c.2159A>C (p.E720A) alteration is located in exon 17 (coding exon 17) of the GARS gene. This alteration results from a A to C substitution at nucleotide position 2159, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 720 to be replaced by an alanine (A). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
