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 1 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.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.2335388).

DICER1-related tumor predisposition Uncertain:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a DICER1-related disease. This sequence change replaces methionine with isoleucine at codon 1149 of the DICER1 protein (p.Met1149Ile). The methionine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between methionine and isoleucine. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. In summary, this variant is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function. There is no indication that it causes disease, but the available evidence is currently insufficient to prove that conclusively. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.M1149I variant (also known as c.3447G>C), located in coding exon 20 of the DICER1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 3447. The methionine at codon 1149 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
