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]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 469 of the RARS2 protein (p.Arg469Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs767150990, gnomAD 0.003%). 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: 548557). 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 RARS2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg469 amino acid residue in RARS2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22569581). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: RARS2 c.1405C>T (p.Arg469Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DALR anticodon binding (IPR008909) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 249858 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1405C>T in individuals affected with Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia, Type 6 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as VUS (n=2) and likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
