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.

The T43R variant in the DICER1 gene has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. This variant was not observed in large population cohorts (NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, Lek et al., 2016). Since Threonine and Arginine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species and in silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, we consider T43R to be a variant of uncertain significance.

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 43 of the DICER1 protein (p.Thr43Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 432356). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on DICER1 protein function. 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.
