Rare Disease

spastic paraplegia 70, autosomal recessive

MONDO:0957221

Overview

GeneticsAutosomal recessive · MARS1 (chr 12)

ResearchLimited published research (5 articles)

Clinical Presentation

Built from Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) phenotype annotations and GeneReviews clinical descriptions. Features represent findings documented across known cases — not an exhaustive list of possible symptoms.

Features include always present findings: Skeletal muscle atrophy, Delayed speech and language development, Delayed ability to walk, and Feeding difficulties and others; and common findings: Achilles tendon contracture, Microcephaly, and Inner ear hearing loss (sensorineural hearing impairment). 21 total HPO annotations.

Genetic Landscape

Assembled from HGNC gene records, ClinGen gene-disease validity evidence, and ClinVar pathogenic variant data. Validity classifications reflect the strength of published evidence linking each gene to this disease.

MARS1 encodes methionyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (900 aa). Catalyzes the specific attachment of an amino acid to its cognate tRNA in a 2 step reaction: the amino acid (AA) is first activated by ATP to form AA-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of the tRNA. Highest expression in Cells Cultured fibroblasts (114.2 TPM) and Brain Cerebellum (111.3 TPM).

Spastic paraplegia 70, autosomal recessive is associated with mutations in the MARS1 gene on chromosome 12.

MARS1 is classified as a druggable target (Druggable Genome and Enzyme categories) with score 0.0.

Diagnosis

Genetic testing for MARS1 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.

Prognosis

Phenotype severity distribution: 14 always present features, 3 common features.
