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:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.D660G variant (also known as c.1979A>G), located in coding exon 11 of the DICER1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1979. The aspartic acid at codon 660 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 660 of the DICER1 protein (p.Asp660Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs151272381, gnomAD 0.02%). 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: 479612). 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%. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). 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. -
