Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BS2_SupportingBP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_177438.2:c.4189T>C variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of tryptophan by arginine at amino acid 1397 (p.Trp1397Arg). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v3.1.2 is 0.00002462 (1/40622 alleles) in African/African American population (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). 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: 61756, 500031). In silico tools predict no damaging impact of the variant on protein function (REVEL: 0.207; 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_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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 05, 2016This variant is denoted DICER1 c.4189T>C at the cDNA level, p.Trp1397Arg (W1397R) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Tryptophan to an Arginine (TGG>CGG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. DICER1 Trp1397Arg was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Tryptophan and Arginine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. DICER1 Trp1397Arg occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals and is located in the RNase III 1 domain (UniProt). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether DICER1 Trp1397Arg is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 15, 2023The p.W1397R variant (also known as c.4189T>C), located in coding exon 21 of the DICER1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 4189. The tryptophan at codon 1397 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. In a study of DICER1 variants in 9173 exomes from The Cancer Genome Atlas and 175 exomes from the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatment, this variant was reported in a patient with endometrial cancer (Kim J et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2019 03;7:e555). This amino acid position is well 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. -
DICER1-related tumor predisposition Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 16, 2024This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1397 of the DICER1 protein (p.Trp1397Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs762677393, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with endometrial cancer (PMID: 30672147). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 242101). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt DICER1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
