Genes affected

QARS1 (HGNC:9751): (glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase 1) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. In metazoans, 9 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases specific for glutamine (gln), glutamic acid (glu), and 7 other amino acids are associated within a multienzyme complex. Although present in eukaryotes, glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (QARS) is absent from many prokaryotes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, in which Gln-tRNA(Gln) is formed by transamidation of the misacylated Glu-tRNA(Gln). Glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-49099391-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-49099391-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 566178.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Institute of Human Genetics, University of Leipzig Medical Center	Jan 17, 2022	_x000D_This variant was identified as compound heterozygous with NM_005051.3:c.1132C>T. Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3, PM2_SUP -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	May 22, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 566178). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with QARS-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs767667312, gnomAD 0.002%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg523*) in the QARS gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in QARS are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24656866, 25471517). -
