Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2 PP2 PP3

The NM_177438.3(DICER1):​c.146T>C​(p.Val49Ala) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,532 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V49I) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the DICER1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 43 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 111 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.2261 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 6.1353 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to goiter, multinodular 1, with or without Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors, global developmental delay - lung cysts - overgrowth - Wilms tumor syndrome, DICER1-related tumor predisposition, DICER1 syndrome, pleuropulmonary blastoma.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.748

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 49 of the DICER1 protein (p.Val49Ala). 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: 412113). 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. -
