Description

In 2 sisters from the United States with hypomyelination with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and leg spasticity (HBSL; 615281), Taft et al. (2013) identified compound heterozygous mutations in the DARS gene: a c.1379G-A transition in exon 15, resulting in an arg460-to-his (R460H) substitution at a conserved residue, and a c.1480C-T transition in exon 16, resulting in an arg494-to-gly (R494G; 603084.0006) substitution at a conserved residue. Molecular modeling suggested that the R460H mutation may alter an amino acid likely to be fundamental to chains supporting the active site, and that the R494G mutation is likely to destabilize the tRNA-protein interaction. The R460H mutation was not found in several large control databases, while the R494G mutation was found at a frequency of 0.001%.
