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 c.4804G>A (p.A1602T) alteration is located in exon 23 (coding exon 22) of the DICER1 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4804, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 1602 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The DICER1 c.4804G>A (p.Ala1602Thr) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.016% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/14-95562453-C-T?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 was identified in 1/1358 non-cancer control individuals in a study of individuals with multiple primary cancers (PMID: 29641532). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with DICER1 syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: BP4. -
