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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg509*) in the DICER1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DICER1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19556464, 21266384). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with multinodular goiter (PMID: 23728841, 24839956, 26925222, 27459524). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 254288). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R509* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1525C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the DICER1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1525. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with DICER1-related tumor predisposition syndrome (Darrat I et al. Head Neck, 2013 Dec;35:E369-71; de Kock L et al. Acta Neuropathol, 2014 Jul;128:111-22; Khan NE et al. Pediatr Nephrol, 2018 Dec;33:2281-2288; Dural O et al. J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol, 2020 Apr;33:173-176). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
