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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 14-95096313-CCA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-95096313-CCA-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 254337.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in DICER1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19556464, 21266384). This variant has been observed in an individual affected with pleuropulmonary blastoma (PMID: 26925222) and has also been observed to be de novo in an individual affected with DICER1 syndrome (PMID: 28960912). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 254337). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys1535Trpfs*3) in the DICER1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
