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.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The DICER1 c.162A>C (p.Ala54=) synonymous variant has not been reported as a germline variant in individuals with DICER1-related conditions in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00017 (6/34568 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant does not affect DICER1 mRNA splicing. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
