Genes affected

CARS2 (HGNC:25695): (cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a putative member of the class I family of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. These enzymes play a critical role in protein biosynthesis by charging tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. This protein is encoded by the nuclear genome but is likely to be imported to the mitochondrion where it is thought to catalyze the ligation of cysteine to tRNA molecules. A splice-site mutation in this gene has been associated with a novel progressive myoclonic epilepsy disease with similar symptoms to MERRF syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017]

CARS2 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.85
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.00000963 (14/1453870) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.000295 (13/44044). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000174. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 6 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 27 Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Center for Genomics, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago	Jul 12, 2022	This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in the Genome Aggregation Database (Highest reported MAF 0.03% (13/33610) (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/13-111294780-A-G?dataset=gnomad_r2_1). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:569707). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may impact the protein. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 18, 2022	This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 502 of the CARS2 protein (p.Leu502Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs763717023, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CARS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 569707). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -
