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]

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

The GARS1 c.112G>A; p.Ala38Thr variant (rs759499740), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 573677). This variant is only observed on four alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The alanine at codon 38 is weakly conserved, but computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.177). However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -

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

In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -

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 threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 38 of the GARS protein (p.Ala38Thr). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GARS-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 573677). 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 not expected to disrupt GARS protein function with a negative 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. -
