Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BS2_SupportingBP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_177438.2:c.4423A>G variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of threonine by alanine at amino acid 1475 (p.Thr1475Ala). This variant was observed in a proband with medulloepithelioma, type unspecified (PS4 not met; Internal lab contributor). This variant has been seen in 10 or more unrelated females without tumors through age 50 in at least one testing laboratory (BS2_Supporting; Internal lab contributors). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.0003287 (2/6084 alleles) in the Middle Eastern population (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). In silico tools predict no damaging impact of the variant on protein function (REVEL: 0.058; MaxEntScan and SpliceAI: no effect on splicing) (BP4). Though this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Benign for DICER1-related tumor predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied (BS2_Supporting, BP4), the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP has decided to override classification to Uncertain Significance due to the potential observation of ciliary body medulloepithelioma (a high-specificity phenotype) in a proband with limited available clinical data.

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.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The NM_177438.2:c.4423A>G variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of threonine by alanine at amino acid 1475 (p.Thr1475Ala). This variant was observed in a proband with medulloepithelioma, type unspecified (PS4 not met; Internal lab contributor). This variant has been seen in 10 or more unrelated females without tumors through age 50 in at least one testing laboratory (BS2_Supporting; Internal lab contributors). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.0003287 (2/6084 alleles) in the Middle Eastern population (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). In silico tools predict no damaging impact of the variant on protein function (REVEL: 0.058; MaxEntScan and SpliceAI: no effect on splicing) (BP4). Though this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Benign for DICER1-related tumor predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied (BS2_Supporting, BP4), the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP has decided to override classification to Uncertain Significance due to the potential observation of ciliary body medulloepithelioma (a high-specificity phenotype) in a proband with limited available clinical data.

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

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1475 of the DICER1 protein (p.Thr1475Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs150883389, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DICER1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 477204). 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 not expected to disrupt DICER1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.T1475A variant (also known as c.4423A>G), located in coding exon 22 of the DICER1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4423. The threonine at codon 1475 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
