Ambry Genetics | RCV001023628 | SCV001185537 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2022-04-28 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.K1718R variant (also known as c.5153A>G), located in coding exon 23 of the DICER1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 5153. The lysine at codon 1718 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |
Invitae | RCV001215641 | SCV001387395 | uncertain significance | DICER1-related tumor predisposition | 2020-12-17 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with DICER1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces lysine with arginine at codon 1718 of the DICER1 protein (p.Lys1718Arg). The lysine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between lysine and arginine. |
