This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_177438.2(DICER1):c.5441C>T variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of serine by leucine at amino acid 1814 (p.Ser1814Leu). This variant received a total of 4.5 phenotype points across 5 unrelated probands/families meeting DICER1 VCEP phenotype specificity scoring criteria of >4 points (PS4; PMIDs: 26545620, 26555935, ClinVar GTRs: 239772, 500031, 500086). At least one patient with this variant was found to have a somatic second hit in a recognized DICER1 hotspot codon on tumor sequencing, which is highly specific for DICER1 syndrome (PP4, PMIDs: 26555935). The variant has been reported to segregate with disease in multiple affected family members with 7 meioses from 3 families (PP1_Strong; PMIDs: 26555935, ClinVar SCVs: SCV000553579.6). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.1 (non-cancer)(PM2_Supporting). In vitro cleavage assay in HEK293 cells showed that this variant reduces the capacity of the protein to produce 5p/3p microRNAs from a pre-miRNA, indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3_Supporting; PMIDs: 26545620). This variant resides within the RNase IIIb domain of DICER1, a mutational hotspot domain with critical functional as defined by the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP (PM1_Supporting; PMID:31342592). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.889, which is above the threshold of 0.75, evidence that correlates with impact to DICER1 function (PP3). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for DICER1 syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP: PS4, PP4, PP1_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PS3_Supporting, PM1_Supporting, PP3 (Bayesian Points: 13; VCEP specifications version 1; 02/11/2022).

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 replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1814 of the DICER1 protein (p.Ser1814Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with DICER1-related disease (PMID: 26545620, 26555935; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 412119). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DICER1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects DICER1 function (PMID: 26545620). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The DICER1 c.5441C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser1814Leu. This variant has been reported to segregate in a family with DICER1-syndrome (Rutter et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26555935) and reported in an additional unrelated individual with DICER1-syndrome (Wu et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26545620). It has been reported in an individual with a somatic second hit in a recognized DICER1 hotspot codon on tumor sequencing (Rutter et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26555935). Functional studies suggest this variant may lead to exon skipping and impact pre-miR122 cleavage (Figure 2, Wu et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26545620). This variant occurs in the RNase IIIb domain, which is a hotspot for missense variants associated with DICER1-related neoplasms (Heravi-Moussavi et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22187960; Foulkes et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25176334; Chen et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 31893257). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic by the ClinGen DICER1 and miRNA-Processing Gene Variant Curation Expert Panel in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/412119/). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.

The DICER1 c.5441C>T (p.Ser1814Leu) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with DICER1-related disease (PMIDs: 26555935 (2016), 26545620 (2016)) and has been observed segregating with disease in related individuals (PMID: 26555935 (2016)). An experimental assay reports the variant reduces miRNA generation (PMID: 26545620 (2016)), however further evidence is needed to assess the global impact of the variant on protein function. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic.

The p.S1814L pathogenic mutation (also known as c.5441C>T), located in coding exon 24 of the DICER1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 5441. The serine at codon 1814 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been identified in multiple individuals diagnosed with DICER1-associated tumors (Ambry internal data; Rutter MM et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab., 2016 Jan;101:1-5; Wu MK et al. Endocr. Relat. Cancer, 2016 Feb;23:L1-5). In addition, this variant segregated with disease in a family affected with early-onset multinodular goiters, differentiated thyroid cancer, and other DICER1-associated tumors (Rutter MM et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab., 2016 Jan;101:1-5). This variant demonstrated reduced 5p and 3p miRNA generation as compared to normal DICER1 protein in an in vitro cleavage assay (Wu MK et al. Endocr. Relat. Cancer, 2016). This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek M et al. Nature. 2016 Aug 18;536(7616):285-91; DECIPHER: Database of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources. Firth H.V. et al. 2009. Am.J.Hum.Genet. 84, 524-533 (DOI: dx.doi.org/10/1016/j.ajhg.2009.03.010). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition, this amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species and is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
