Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 1P and 4B. BS2PM4_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_177438.2:c.4178_4180dup variant is predicted to cause a change in the length of the protein (p.Asn1393dup) due to an in-frame insertion of 1 amino acid in a non-repeat region outside of the RNase IIIb domain (p.D606-p.D609; p.E1418-p.E1420; p.E1422-p.E1425) (PM4_Supporting). 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 highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.00004417 (3/67924 alleles) in European (non-Finnish) population (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: PM4_Supporting, BS2.

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 DICER1 c.4178_4180dup (p.Asn1393dup) variant, also known as p.Asn1393_Thr1394insAsn, has been reported in the published literature in an individual with early onset thyroid carcinoma (PMID: 33630087 (2021)) and an individual with cutaneous melanoma (PMID: 39001563 (2021)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000044 (3/67924 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The DICER1 c.4178_4180dupACA variant is predicted to result in an in-frame duplication (p.Asn1393dup). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant has been classified as uncertain by an expert panel in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/242100/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance:Benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
