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.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Loss-of-function variants in DICER1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19556464, 21266384). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has been observed in several individuals affected with pleuropulmonary blastoma (PMID: 19556464, 26925222). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 254290). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met562Valfs*11) in the DICER1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1684_1685delAT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the DICER1 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1684 to 1685, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.M562Vfs*11). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals diagnosed with pleuropulmonary blastoma (Hill DA et al. Science, 2009 Aug;325:965; Brenneman M et al. F1000Res, 2015 Jul;4:214). Of note, this alteration is also referred to as 1866-1867delAT in the literature. 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. -
