Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4BS2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_177438.2:c.4475T>C variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of methionine by threonine at amino acid 1492 (p.Met1492Thr). 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). In silico tools predict no damaging impact of the variant on protein function (REVEL: 0.049; MaxEntScan and SpliceAI: no effect on splicing) (BP4). The total allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.000002478 (4/1614146 alleles) with highest population minor allele frequencies of 0.00001334 (1/74954alleles) and 0.000002542 (3/1180050) in the African American and European (non-Finnish) populations, respectively (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Benign for DICER1-related tumor predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP: BS2_Supporting, BP4.

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.

Submissions by phenotype

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 29, 2022The p.M1492T variant (also known as c.4475T>C), located in coding exon 22 of the DICER1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 4475. The methionine at codon 1492 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 18, 2024This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1492 of the DICER1 protein (p.Met1492Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs370947079, gnomAD 0.008%). 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: 483407). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesMar 21, 2023The DICER1 c.4475T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Met1492Thr. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 3 of ~283,000 alleles in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/14-95562782-A-G) and is interpreted as uncertain significance in CLinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/483407/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
