Genes affected
FARS2 (HGNC:21062): (phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a protein that transfers phenylalanine to its cognate tRNA. This protein localizes to the mitochondrion and plays a role in mitochondrial protein translation. Mutations in this gene can cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 14 (Alpers encephalopathy). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 14 Uncertain:2

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 154 of the FARS2 protein (p.Ala154Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs749588235, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with FARS2 deficiency (PMID: 29126765). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 488360). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FARS2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
