Intellectual disability - microarray and sequencing v5.380 YARS Achchuthan Shanmugasundram changed review comment from: As reviewed by Sarah Leigh, none of the previously reported cases presented with intellectual disability, although the family reported in PMID:30304524 had expressive language delay and the older brother reported in PMID:27633801 had mild delays.

As reviewed by Dmitrijs Rots, all 12 patients from six families identified with homozygous p.Arg367Trp variant had neurodevelopmental phenotype including intellectual disability. As all these families were identified with the same homozygous variant, the rating should remain amber. However, 'watchlist' tag has been added to review this gene in future with any new evidence.; to: As reviewed by Sarah Leigh, none of the previously reported cases presented with intellectual disability, although the family reported in PMID:30304524 had expressive language delay and the older brother reported in PMID:27633801 had mild delays.

Intellectual disability - microarray and sequencing v3.219 NARS Konstantinos Varvagiannis changed review comment from: [Please note that HGNC Approved Gene Symbol for this gene is NARS1]

Manole et al (2020 - PMID: 32738225) provide evidence that both biallelic and monoallelic (de novo) pathogenic NARS1 variants cause a neurodevelopmental disorder. In total 32 individuals from 21 families are reported, with biallelic variants identified in individuals from 13 families and de novo in 8 families.

Similar features were reported for AR/AD occurrences of the disorder and included of microcephaly (90% - most often primary), epilepsy (23/32 or 74% - variable semiology incl. partial/myoclonic/generalized tonic-clonic seizures), DD and ID (as a universal feature), abnormal tone in several (hypotonia/spasticity), ataxia, demyelinating peripheral neuropathy (in 3 or more for each inheritance mode - or a total of 25%). Some individuals had dysmorphic features.

NARS1 encodes an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS) [asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase 1]. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases constitute a family of enzymes catalyzing attachment of amino-acids to their cognate tRNAs. As the authors comment, mutations in genes encoding several other ARSs result in neurological disorders ranging from peripheral neuropathy to severe multi-systemic NDD. Dominant, recessive or both modes for inheritance for mutations in the same gene (e.g. AARS1, YARS1, MARS1, etc) have been reported.

Some variants were recurrent, e.g. the c.1600C>T / p.Arg534* which occurred in 6 families as a de novo event or c.1633C>T p.Arg545Cys (homozygous in 6 families). 3 different variants were reported to have occured de novo (c.965G>T - p.Arg322Leu, c.1525G>A - p.Gly509Ser, p.Arg534*) with several other variants identified in hmz/compound htz individuals. A single SNV (c.1067A>C - p.Asp356Ala) was suggested to be acting as modifier and pathogenic only when in trans with a severe variant. [NM_004539.4 used as RefSeq for all].

The authors provide several lines of evidence for a partial loss-of-function effect (e.g. reduction in mRNA expression, enzyme levels and activity in fibroblasts or iNPCs) underlying pathogenicity of the variants identified in individuals with biallelic variants. A gain-of-function (dominant-negative) effect is proposed for de novo variants (such effect also demonstrated for the p.Arg534* in a zebrafish model).

As also Manole et al suggest, NARS1 can be considered for inclusion in gene panels for DD/ID, epilepsy and/or demyelinating neuropathy.

PMID 27633801 reports two sibblings with hypotionia, the older brother at 15 years of age has mild delays, he attends school on an individualized educational program and functions at a grade 3 level. He speaks and understands English and Polish.
