    Data suggest that biallelic tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 2 (YARS2) variants, including severe loss-of-function alleles should be considered as a cause of isolated congenital sideroblastic anemia, as well as the myopathy, lactic acidosis and sideroblastic anemia 2 (MLASA2) syndromic phenotype.

    The phenotypic spectrum of germline YARS2 variants: from isolated sideroblastic anemia to mitochondrial myopathy, lactic acidosis and sideroblastic anemia 2.

    The mutation in YARS2 gene is a nuclear modifier for the phenotypic manifestation of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy-associated mitochondrial DNA mutation.

    The exome sequencing identified the mutation in YARS2 encoding the mitochondrial tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase as a nuclear modifier for the phenotypic manifestation of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy-associated mitochondrial DNA mutation.

    Data identified novel YARS2 mutations and noted marked phenotypic variability among YARS2 MLASA patients, with phenotypes ranging from mild to lethal, suggesting that the background mtDNA haplotype may be contributing to the phenotypic variability.

    Phenotypic variability and identification of novel YARS2 mutations in YARS2 mitochondrial myopathy, lactic acidosis and sideroblastic anaemia.

    The study confirms mutations in YARS2 as a cause of MLASA and shows that, like some of the cytoplasmic ARSs, mitochondrial ARSs occur in high-molecular-weight complexes.

    A novel mutation in YARS2 causes myopathy with lactic acidosis and sideroblastic anemia.
