Genes affected

MRPS34 (HGNC:16618): (mitochondrial ribosomal protein S34) Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 28S subunit protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 32 Pathogenic:4

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Sep 28, 2023	Variant summary: MRPS34 c.322-10G>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant abolishes the 3' canonical acceptor site. One predict the variant weakens the 3' canonical acceptor site. Four predict the variant creates a 3' cryptic acceptor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing by producing abnormal transcripts that result in frameshift and premature truncation, respectively (Lake_2017). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.4e-06 in 239276 control chromosomes. c.322-10G>A has been reported at a homozygous state in multiple individuals affected with Leigh Syndrome (examples, MartinSaavedra_2021, Alves_2020, Lake_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency 32. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32445240, 28777931, 34052969). Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

not provided Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 08, 2025	This sequence change falls in intron 1 of the MRPS34 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MRPS34 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs563189672, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency (PMID: 28777931). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 438633). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
