Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_177438.3(DICER1):c.5057C>T(p.Ala1686Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/20 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A1686A) has been classified as Likely benign.

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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain RNase III 2 (size 158) in uniprot entity DICER_HUMAN there are 51 pathogenic changes around while only 4 benign (93%) in NM_177438.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, DICER1
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.946

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a DICER1-related disease. In summary, this variant is a novel missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may alter RNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. This sequence change replaces alanine with valine at codon 1686 of the DICER1 protein (p.Ala1686Val). The alanine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and valine. -
