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 Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 14-95111340-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-95111340-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 412038.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr14-95111340-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic]. Variant chr14-95111340-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

DICER1-related tumor predisposition Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jun 30, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 412038). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DICER1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg745*) in the DICER1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DICER1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19556464, 21266384). -

The p.R745* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2233C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the DICER1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2233. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 13. This alteration has been reported in an infant with a malignant sacrococcygeal tumor, identified on tumor sequencing at an allele frequency of 52.3%; germline or family testing was not performed (Nakano Y et al. Mod Pathol, 2019 Dec;32:1744-1750). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
