Genes affected
GARS1 (HGNC:4162): (glycyl-tRNA synthetase 1) This gene encodes glycyl-tRNA synthetase, one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. The encoded enzyme is an (alpha)2 dimer which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant  is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 580489). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GARS-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs756629704, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 245 of the GARS protein (p.Gln245Lys). -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function -
