Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BS2_SupportingBS3_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_177438.2:c.4740G>T variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of glutamine by histidine at amino acid 1580 (p.Gln1580His). 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/GTRs: 500031, 61756). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD (non-cancer) v2.1.1 is 0.00003 (3/102668 alleles) in the European (non-Finnish) population (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). In vitro cleavage assay in HEK293 cells showed that this variant produces both 5p and 3p microRNAs from a pre-miRNA, indicating that this variant is unlikely to impact protein function (BS3_Supporting; Wu 2018, McGill University). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.696, which is neither above nor below the thresholds predicting a damaging or benign impact on DICER1 function. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Benign for DICER1 syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP: BS2_Supporting, BS3_Supporting.

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.

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in an individual with a seminoma (Slade 2011); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24136150, 21266384, 24708902, 23547758, 33158809, 29762508, 28748527) -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Q1580H variant (also known as c.4740G>T), located in coding exon 22 of the DICER1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 4740. The glutamine at codon 1580 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was reported in the germline of an individual with a seminoma diagnosed at age 32 (Slade I et al. J. Med. Genet., 2011 Apr;48:273-8). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
