Description
NM_177438.2(DICER1):c.5441C>T variant in DICER1 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of serine by leucine at amino acid 1814 (p.Ser1814Leu). This variant received a total of 4.5 phenotype points across 5 unrelated probands/families meeting DICER1 VCEP phenotype specificity scoring criteria of >4 points (PS4; PMIDs: 26545620, 26555935, ClinVar GTRs: 239772, 500031, 500086). At least one patient with this variant was found to have a somatic second hit in a recognized DICER1 hotspot codon on tumor sequencing, which is highly specific for DICER1 syndrome (PP4, PMIDs: 26555935). The variant has been reported to segregate with disease in multiple affected family members with 7 meioses from 3 families (PP1_Strong; PMIDs: 26555935, ClinVar SCVs: SCV000553579.6). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.1 (non-cancer)(PM2_Supporting). In vitro cleavage assay in HEK293 cells showed that this variant reduces the capacity of the protein to produce 5p/3p microRNAs from a pre-miRNA, indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3_Supporting; PMIDs: 26545620). This variant resides within the RNase IIIb domain of DICER1, a mutational hotspot domain with critical functional as defined by the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP (PM1_Supporting; PMID: 31342592). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.889, which is above the threshold of 0.75, evidence that correlates with impact to DICER1 function (PP3). 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: PS4, PP4, PP1_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PS3_Supporting, PM1_Supporting, PP3 (Bayesian Points: 13; VCEP specifications version 1; 02/11/2022).
