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 Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.03154793 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 14-95106040-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-95106040-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 543639.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Foulkes Cancer Genetics LDI, Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research	Jul 01, 2019	ACMG criteria met: PVS1, PM2, PP4 -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Oct 26, 2017	In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in DICER1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19556464, 21266384). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with DICER1-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 18 of the DICER1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
