Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 1P and 1B. PM2_SupportingBP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_177438.3(DICER1):c.5761A>C variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of asparagine by histidine at amino acid 1921 (p.Asn1921His). Although this variant has been observed in germline cases, to our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with DICER1-related tumor predisposition (PS4 not met; Internal lab contributors). This variant has an allele frequency of 0.0000006196 (1/1613836 alleles) across gnomAD v4.1.0 with no more than one allele in any subpopulation, which is lower than the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP threshold (<0.000005) for PM2_Supporting, and therefore meets this criterion (PM2_Supporting). In silico tools predict no damaging impact of the variant on protein function (REVEL: 0.152; MaxEntScan and SpliceAI: no effect on splicing) (BP4). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for DICER1-related tumor predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP: PM2_Supporting, BP4. (Bayesian Points: 0; VCEP specifications version 1.3.0; 02/25/2025). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA7330596/MONDO:0100216/024

Genes affected
DICER1 (HGNC:17098): (dicer 1, ribonuclease III) This gene encodes a protein possessing an RNA helicase motif containing a DEXH box in its amino terminus and an RNA motif in the carboxy terminus. The encoded protein functions as a ribonuclease and is required by the RNA interference and small temporal RNA (stRNA) pathways to produce the active small RNA component that represses gene expression. This protein also acts as a strong antiviral agent with activity against RNA viruses, including the Zika and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

DICER1-related tumor predisposition Uncertain:2
Jan 28, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1921 of the DICER1 protein (p.Asn1921His). This variant is present in population databases (rs775077210, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DICER1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 644129). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt DICER1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

The NM_177438.3(DICER1):c.5761A>C variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of asparagine by histidine at amino acid 1921 (p.Asn1921His). Although this variant has been observed in germline cases, to our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with DICER1-related tumor predisposition (PS4 not met; Internal lab contributors). This variant has an allele frequency of 0.0000006196 (1/1613836 alleles) across gnomAD v4.1.0 with no more than one allele in any subpopulation, which is lower than the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP threshold (<0.000005) for PM2_Supporting, and therefore meets this criterion (PM2_Supporting). In silico tools predict no damaging impact of the variant on protein function (REVEL: 0.152; MaxEntScan and SpliceAI: no effect on splicing) (BP4). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for DICER1-related tumor predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP: PM2_Supporting, BP4. (Bayesian Points: 0; VCEP specifications version 1.3.0; 02/25/2025).

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.N1921H variant (also known as c.5761A>C), located in coding exon 26 of the DICER1 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 5761. The asparagine at codon 1921 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
