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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1003*) 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). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pleuropulmonary blastoma (PMID: 24675358). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 412077). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The DICER1 c.3007C>T (p.Arg1003Ter) change is a nonsense variant that is predicted to cause premature protein truncation or absence of protein due to nonsense-mediated decay. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with DICER1 syndrome (PMID: 35728810, 32729194, 28459098, internal data), including at least one individual whose tumor harbored a second pathogenic variant in the DICER1 gene. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

The p.R1003* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3007C>T), located in coding exon 18 of the DICER1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3007. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 18. This alteration was identified in multiple individuals diagnosed with sarcoma (Mullen MM et al. Gynecol Oncol Rep, 2017 May;20:121-124; Schweizer L et al. Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol, 2022 Oct;48:e12830). This alteration was also identified in an individual diagnosed with a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (Koo J et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer, 2020 Oct;67:e28621). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
