Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4BS2

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_177438.3:c.2951A>G variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of asparagine by serine at amino acid 984 (p.Asn984Ser). Although this variant has been observed in germline cases, to our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with DICER1-related tumor predisposition (PS4 not met; Internal lab contributors). This variant has been seen in 40 or more unrelated females without tumors through age 50 in at least one testing laboratory (BS2; Internal lab contributors). The total allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.00002603 (42/1613822 alleles) with a highest population minor allele frequency of 0.0001068 (8/74908 alleles) in the African/African American population (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). Two different missense variants, c.2950A>C (p.Asn984His) and c.2952C>A (p.Asn984Lys), in the same codon have been reported (ClinVar Variation ID: 2716149, 1015034). However, these variants have not yet met the criteria to be classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen DICER VCEP (PM5 not met). In silico tools predict no damaging impact of the variant on protein function (REVEL: 0.136; MaxEntScan and SpliceAI: no effect on splicing) (BP4). 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, BP4. (Bayesian Points: -5; VCEP specifications version 1.3.0; 01/07/2025). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA7331148/MONDO:0100216/024

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.

The NM_177438.3:c.2951A>G variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of asparagine by serine at amino acid 984 (p.Asn984Ser). Although this variant has been observed in germline cases, to our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with DICER1-related tumor predisposition (PS4 not met; Internal lab contributors). This variant has been seen in 40 or more unrelated females without tumors through age 50 in at least one testing laboratory (BS2; Internal lab contributors). The total allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.00002603 (42/1613822 alleles) with a highest population minor allele frequency of 0.0001068 (8/74908 alleles) in the African/African American population (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). Two different missense variants, c.2950A>C (p.Asn984His) and c.2952C>A (p.Asn984Lys), in the same codon have been reported (ClinVar Variation ID: 2716149, 1015034). However, these variants have not yet met the criteria to be classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen DICER VCEP (PM5 not met). In silico tools predict no damaging impact of the variant on protein function (REVEL: 0.136; MaxEntScan and SpliceAI: no effect on splicing) (BP4). 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, BP4. (Bayesian Points: -5; VCEP specifications version 1.3.0; 01/07/2025). -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2951A>G (p.N984S) alteration is located in exon 18 (coding exon 17) of the DICER1 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2951, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 984 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
