Comment on list classification: New gene added by Konstantinos Varvagiannis. Developmental delay is prevalent among affected individuals, and there are sufficient unrelated cases (>3) presenting with relevant severity to this panel. This may serve as a possible route for diagnostic testing as currently there are no relevant panels for detecting the hepatic phenotype of the disease presentation, and so there may be value in rating Green at the next major panel review (added 'for-review tag).

Please consider inclusion with amber/green rating in the current panel.

Biallelic pathogenic LARS1 variants cause Infantile liver failure syndrome 1, MIM# 615438.

Lenz et al (2020 - PMID: 32699352) review the phenotype of 25 affected individuals from 15 families.

Seizures occurred in 19/24 and were commonly associated with infections. Encephalopathic episodes (in 13 patients) accompanied by seizures up to status epilepticus occurred independently of hepatic decompensation.

In addition 22/24 presented with neurodevelopmental delay. The authors comment that cognitive impairment was present in 13/17 individuals (mild-severe) whereas most presented with learning disabilities.

These patients will be most likely investigated for their liver disease (although presentation was highly variable and/or very mild in few).

The gene encodes a cytoplasmic amino-acyl tRNA synthetase (ARS) with neurologic manifestations observed in almost all patients (and seizures / DD and ID common to other disorders due to mutations in other genes encoding for ARSs).

Please note that the HGNC approved symbol for this gene is LARS1.
