NM_177438.3:c.5052C>G

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP7BS1BP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_177438.2:c.5052C>G (p.Leu1684=) variant is a synonymous (silent) variant that is not predicted by MaxEntScan or SpliceAI to impact splicing (BP4, BP7). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 non-cancer is 0.0034 (5/14900 alleles) in African/African-American population, which is higher than the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP threshold (>0.0003) for BS1, and therefore meets this criterion (BS1). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely benign for DICER1 syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP: BP4, BP7, BS1 (Bayesian Points: -6; VCEP specifications version 1; 02/11/22).

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.

Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The NM_177438.2:c.5052C>G (p.Leu1684=) variant is a synonymous (silent) variant that is not predicted by MaxEntScan or SpliceAI to impact splicing (BP4, BP7). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 non-cancer is 0.0034 (5/14900 alleles) in African/African-American population, which is higher than the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP threshold (>0.0003) for BS1, and therefore meets this criterion (BS1). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely benign for DICER1 syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP: BP4, BP7, BS1 (Bayesian Points: -6; VCEP specifications version 1; 02/11/22).

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:1
Mar 21, 2018
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
