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.

DICER1-related tumor predisposition Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 11, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg544*) 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 pleuropulmonary blastoma (PMID: 19556464, 24909177, 26925222). This variant is also known as 1812C>T and p.R534X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4472). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R544* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1630C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the DICER1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1630. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration has been reported in individuals with pleuropulmonary blastoma and a ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (Hill DA et al. Science, 2009 Aug;325:965; Azzollini J et al. Tumori, 2021 Dec;107:NP144-NP148). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
