Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PS3_SupportingPP1_ModeratePP4PM2_SupportingPS4_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_177438.2:c.2516C>T variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of serine by phenylalanine at amino acid 839 (p.Ser839Phe). This variant received a total of 1 phenotype point across 2 unrelated probands meeting DICER1 VCEP phenotype specificity scoring criteria of 1-1.5 points (PS4_Supporting; PMIDs: 3799599, 21205968; Internal Contributors: Guy's and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust). All reported phenotypes to date have been thyroid phenotypes (multi-nodular goiter and thyroid cancer, including pediatric). At least one patient with this variant was found to have a somatic second hit in a recognized DICER1 hotspot codon on tumor sequencing, which is highly specific for DICER1-related tumor predisposition (PP4, PMIDs: 27459524, 26033159). The variant has been reported to segregate with multi-nodular goiter in 20 affected family members from 1 family (PP1_Moderate; PMIDs: 2120596). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2 (non-cancer) (PM2_Supporting). In vitro cleavage assay carried out using immunopurified DICER1 variant Ser839Phe showed that this variant reduces the capacity of the protein to produce 5p/3p microRNAs from a pre-miRNA, indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3_Supporting; Wu, McGill 2018; Torrez, University of Michigan 2023, PMID:37333613). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.519, which is neither above nor below the thresholds predicting a damaging or benign impact on DICER1 function (PP3 and BP4 not met). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Pathogenic for DICER1-related tumor predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP: PS4_Supporting, PP4, PP1_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PS3_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.
