Hereditary spastic paraplegia
Gene: DARS
Added new-gene-name tag, new approved HGNC gene symbol for DARS is DARS1Created: 6 Sep 2019, 11:38 a.m. | Last Modified: 6 Sep 2019, 11:38 a.m.
Panel Version: 1.205
Gene to be reviewed again after the GMS Neurology specialist test group have reviewed and agreed rating of gene on the Hereditary spastic paraplegia - childhood onset panel on May 2019Created: 3 May 2019, 8:27 a.m.
Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Red to Amber to match expert review and literature evidence. Added to panel and rated Amber by Chris Buxton (Bristol NHS). 2 patients in PMID:25527264 with onset in late adolescence who presented with subacute spastic paraplegia.Created: 8 Jan 2019, 1:53 p.m.
Wolf (2015, 25527264) report 3 patients with variants in DARS. One patient had typical infantile presentation but 2 patients with onset in late adolescence presented with subacute spastic paraplegia. Patient 1 was compound heterozygous for c.599C>G; p.Ser200Cys and c.830C>T; p.Ser277Phe. Patient 2 was homozygous for c.1277T>C; p.Leu426Ser, and patient 3 compound heterozygous for c.839A>T; p.His280Leu and c.1099G>C; p.Asp367His.Created: 8 Jan 2019, 1:50 p.m.
Comment on list classification: This gene is awaiting curator evaluation and rating.Created: 19 Dec 2018, 2:11 p.m.
HGMD: 15 missense, 1 ins associated with: Hypomyelination with brain stem and spinal cord involvement and leg spasticity:
An autosomal recessive leukoencephalopathy characterized by onset in the first year of life of severe spasticity, mainly affecting the lower limbs and resulting in an inability to achieve independent ambulation
Taft (2013, 23643384) identiofied compound-heterozygous and homozygous DARS missense variants in 7 unrelated families with severe lower limb spasticity associated with leukoencephalopathy
Phenotype expanded by Wolf (2015, 25527264) to later onset and subacute spastic paraplegia.
