Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PS4_SupportingPM2_SupportingPVS1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_177438.2:c.5104C>T (p.Gln1702Ter) variant in DICER1 is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 24/27 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). This variant received a total of 1 phenotype point across 1 family meeting DICER1 VCEP phenotype specificity scoring criteria of 1-1.5 points (PS4_Supporting; PMID:22157934, 22180160, 26925222). This variant is absent from gnomAD non-cancer dataset v2.1.1 and v3.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for DICER1 syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP: PVS1, PM2_supporting, PS4_supporting.

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 testingInvitaeOct 04, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 254344). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the uterine cervix and pleuropulmonary blastoma (PMID: 22157934). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1702*) 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). -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 23, 2013​The p.Q1702X pathogenic mutation (also known as c.5104C>T), located in coding exon 23 of the DICER1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 5104. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 23. Since premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -
