Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PM2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_005051.3(QARS1):c.1543C>T(p.Arg515Trp) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000026 in 1,614,086 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R515Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Dec 12, 2022 | In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects QARS function (PMID: 24656866). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on QARS protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127118). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with progressive microcephaly with seizures and cerebral and cerebellar atrophy (PMID: 24656866). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs587777334, gnomAD 0.004%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 515 of the QARS protein (p.Arg515Trp). - |
