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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 30, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg688*) 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 present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of DICER1 syndrome (PMID: 26822237, 26925222, 26928971, 28323992, 28960912). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 254303). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 06, 2022The p.R688* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2062C>T), located in coding exon 12 of the DICER1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2062. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 12. This alteration has been observed in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with DICER1-related disease (Wu MK et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer, 2016 07;63:1272-5; Parsons DW et al. JAMA Oncol, 2016 May;2:616-624; Khan NE et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2017 05;102:1614-1622; Fita AM et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer, 2017 Aug;64; Brenneman M et al. F1000Res, 2015 Jul;4:214; de Kock L et al. Mod Pathol, 2020 06;33:1207-1219). 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. -
