Genes affected

RARS2 (HGNC:21406): (arginyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This nuclear gene encodes a protein that localizes to the mitochondria, where it catalyzes the transfer of L-arginine to its cognate tRNA, an important step in translation of mitochondrially-encoded proteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 6 (PCH6). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys352Alafs*15) in the RARS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RARS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17847012, 22569581, 26083569). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RARS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 212016). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
