Genes affected

AARS2 (HGNC:21022): (alanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases play critical roles in mRNA translation by charging tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded protein is a mitochondrial enzyme that specifically aminoacylates alanyl-tRNA. Mutations in this gene are a cause of combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 8.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a likely mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 8 (MIM#614096) and leukoencephalopathy, progressive, with ovarian failure (MIM#615889) (PMIDs: 28633377, 30285085, 24808023). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 for a recessive condition (20 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0701 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. At least nine NMD-predicted variants along AARS2 have been reported in affected individuals (ClinVar, Decipher, PMID: 31106991). (SP) 0802 - This variant has moderate previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported in individuals diagnosed with severe infantile cardiomyopathy, progressive leukoencephalopathy with ovarian failure and primary pulmonary hypoplasia (ClinVar; PMIDs: 25058219, 29971983, 30819764). (SP) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1201 - Heterozygous variant detected in trans with a second pathogenic heterozygous variant (NM_020745.4:c.1774C>T; p.(Arg592Trp)) in a recessive disease. (SP) 1205 - This variant has been shown to be maternally inherited. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys218Leufs*6) in the AARS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in AARS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24808023, 30285085, 30819764). This variant is present in population databases (rs746514660, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with multiple respiratory chain complex defects (PMID: 25058219). This variant is also known as c.647_648insG. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 143044). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
