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
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 16, 2023In 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. An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 477221). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DICER1-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs769225805, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1614 of the DICER1 protein (p.Gln1614Arg). -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalOct 20, 2021The DICER1 c.4841A>G (p.Gln1614Arg) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.00088% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_supporting; https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/14-95562416-T-C). Six of seven in silico tools predict a benign effect of this variant on protein function (BP4), but to our knowledge these predictions have not been confirmed by functional assays. This variant occurs in a gene where missense variants are more likely to be damaging based on methods described by Lek et al. (PP2; PMID: 27535533). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with DICER1 syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: PM2_supporting, PP2, BP4. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 11, 2023Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 16, 2023The p.Q1614R variant (also known as c.4841A>G), located in coding exon 22 of the DICER1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4841. The glutamine at codon 1614 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is 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. -
