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.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R1630C variant (also known as c.4888C>T), located in coding exon 22 of the DICER1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4888. The arginine at codon 1630 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been identified in individuals with rhabdomyosarcoma (Zhang J et al. N Engl J Med, 2015 Dec;373:2336-2346; de Kock L et al. Lancet Oncol, 2016 11;17:e470). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. 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. -

The DICER1 c.4888C>T (p.Arg1630Cys) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.005% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/14-95562369-G-A?dataset=gnomad_r2_1). Five 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. Although this variant occurs in a gene where missense variants are more likely to be damaging (PMID: 27535533), the variant lies at a residue that has a constrained coding region score of 0 and is not predicted to be more damaging based on methods described by Havrilla et al (PMID: 30531870). This variant has been reported in individuals with rhabdomyosarcoma and atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (PMID: 26580448, internal data). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: BP4. -
