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.Arg944*) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of DICER1-related pleuropulmonary blastoma familial tumor predisposition syndrome (PMID: 19556464, 26925222, 28323992, 30178239). This variant is also known as 3012C>T R934X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4470). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R944* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2830C>T), located in coding exon 17 of the DICER1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2830. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 17. Designated as 3012C>T (R934X), this mutation was seen in a family with pleuropulmonary blastoma (Hill DA et al. Science 2009 Aug;325:965). It was identified in a patient diagnosed with pleuropulmonary blastoma at three years of age, as well as in her mother, who had bilateral ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors and papillary thyroid carcinoma (Puckett Y et al. J Pediatr Surg Case Rep 2015 Aug;3:8). This alteration was also identified in a woman with a right duplicated collecting system, simple 8 mm outer cortex, and renal cyst/s (Khan NE et al. Pediatr. Nephrol. 2018 Dec;33:2281-2288). 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. -
