Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1 PM2

The NM_177438.3(DICER1):​c.3273C>A​(p.Tyr1091*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,459,008 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y1091Y) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.
