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.

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 361 of the FARS2 protein (p.Pro361Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs751459058, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive FARS2-related conditions (PMID: 29126765, 32007496, 32989326). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 214335). 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%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.013%). Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.88; 3Cnet: 1.00). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000214335). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The sequence change, c.1082C>T, in exon 6 results in an amino acid change, p.Pro361Leu. The p.Pro361Leu change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in an anticodon binding domain of the FARS2 protein that is known to be functional. The p.Pro361Leu substitution appears to be deleterious using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, REVEL). This particular amino acid change has been described in the compound heterozygous state in two unrelated patients with FARS2 deficiency with spastic paraplegia phenotype (PMID: 29126765). Functional studies using the fibroblasts from these individuals showed a decreased amount of Phe-charged tRNA and a decrease in mitochondrial protein synthesis rate, which affected the assembly of OXPHOS complexes (PMID: 29126765). This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with an overall low population frequency of 0.013%(dbSNP rs751459058). -

The FARS2 c.1082C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro361Leu. This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous or homozygous state in patients with spastic paraplegia (Vantroys et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29126765; Meszarosova et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32007496; Jin et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32989326, Supplementary Table 7), as well as combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 14 (Bravo-Alonso et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31683770). This variant has been classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/214335/). This variant is reported in 0.040% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Based on the collective information, this variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1082C>T (p.P361L) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 5) of the FARS2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1082, causing the proline (P) at amino acid position 361 to be replaced by a leucine (L). This variant has been reported with a second FARS2 variant in several unrelated individuals with clinical features of mitochondrial phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase deficiency (Ambry internal data; Meszarosova, 2020). This variant has been detected as a homozygous finding in an individual with hypotonic cerebral palsy, dysgenesis of the corpus callosum, colpocephaly, diminished periventricular white matter volume, periventricular leukomalacia, and intellectual disability (Jin, 2020). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
