Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_177438.3(DICER1):​c.2955delGinsTT​(p.Gln985HisfsTer14) variant causes a frameshift, missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Q985K) has been classified as Uncertain significance. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro986Serfs*13) in the DICER1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with DICER1-related disease. Loss-of-function variants in DICER1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19556464, 21266384). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
