Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 3P and 1B. PM2 PP2 BP4

The NM_177438.3(DICER1):​c.431A>T​(p.Lys144Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. K144N) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), DICER1. . Gene score misZ 4.2261 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 6.1353 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with 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=0.38746387).

This sequence change replaces lysine with methionine at codon 144 of the DICER1 protein (p.Lys144Met). The lysine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between lysine and methionine. 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, this variant is a novel missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
