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.

Likely benign, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen DICER1 and miRNA-Processing Gene Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGenJul 10, 2023The 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 GTRs: 500031, 61756). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v3.1.1 (non-cancer) is 0.000046 (3/64704 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.

DICER1-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 30, 2023The 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 24, 2023The c.4178_4180dupACA variant (also known as p.N1393dup), located in coding exon 21 of the DICER1 gene, results from an in-frame duplication of ACA at nucleotide positions 4178 to 4180. This results in the duplication of an extra asparagine residue between codons 1393 and 1394. This variant, designated p.Asn1393_1394insAsn, has been reported in a patient with follicular thyroid carcinoma in her 20s (Mirshahi UL et al. JAMA Netw Open, 2021 Feb;4:e210112). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be neutral by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
