Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
Only PVS1, PM4, and BP3 were adjudicated. The DICER1 VCEP specification governs: PVS1 is not met for this noncanonical +6 intronic variant, while PM4 and BP3 are not applicable to its consequence type.
2
The governing DICER1 VCEP framework applies PS2, PP1, and BS4 but excludes PM6; the available evidence does not document parental testing, de novo status, informative segregation, or non-segregation.
3
No paper in the extracted literature set provides variant-specific de novo, segregation, or non-segregation evidence for NM_177438.3:c.734+6C>T.
4
The variant is an intronic c.734+6 substitution; PP3 and BP4 use the splice-impact path, while BP7 is out of scope because the variant is not synonymous.
5
The available SpliceAI max delta is 0.07, but the governing DICER1 PP3/BP4 rules require MaxEntScan and SpliceAI concordance, and MaxEntScan evidence is unavailable.
Final determination: Under the DICER1 VCEP Version 1.4 point-based framework, a total of -1 through 5 points corresponds to Uncertain Significance (Rule 3).
ACMG/AMP criteria review
Criteria shown when status is available
All criteria require review: For research and educational purposes only.
Criterion Status Rationale Evidence used
PVS1 Not met Not met: c.734+6C>T is outside the DICER1 VCEP +/-1/+/-2 splice rule and has SpliceAI maximum delta 0.07.
cspec spliceai pvs1_variant_assessment PMID:25741868
PS1 Not assessed Not assessed: c.734+6C>T has SpliceAI max delta 0.07, but no qualifying same-nucleotide VCEP-pathogenic comparator with comparable splicing impact is available.
cspec spliceai
PS2 Not assessed Not assessed: no documented de novo observation or confirmed parental testing is available to assign PS2 de novo points.
cspec
PS3 Not assessed Not assessed: no variant-specific RNA or pre-miRNA cleavage assay is available; SpliceAI max delta 0.07 is predictive evidence, not functional validation.
cspec spliceai
PS4 Not assessed Not assessed: the DICER1 VCEP requires ≥4 phenotype points for strong PS4, but no adjudicated phenotype-point total is available.
cspec
PM1 N/A Not applicable: c.734+6C>T is intronic with protein consequence p.?, whereas DICER1 PM1 is restricted to putative missense variants in specified residues or domains.
cspec
PM2 Not met Not met: gnomAD v4.1 total frequency was 4.65e-05, exceeding the DICER1 VCEP PM2 cutoff of <5e-06.
cspec gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2
PM3 N/A Not applicable: the DICER1 VCEP Version 1.4 specification explicitly excludes PM3 for this gene.
cspec
PM4 N/A Not applicable: c.734+6C>T is an intronic single-nucleotide variant with no in-frame indel or protein-length change.
cspec pvs1_variant_assessment
PM5 N/A Not applicable: c.734+6C>T is intronic with protein consequence p.?, not a missense variant eligible for same-residue PM5 comparison.
cspec pm5_candidates
PM6 N/A Not applicable: the DICER1 VCEP explicitly excludes PM6 and directs all de novo evidence to PS2.
cspec
PP1 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected relatives or countable segregating meioses are documented for this variant.
cspec
PP2 N/A Not applicable: the DICER1 VCEP explicitly excludes PP2, and c.734+6C>T is intronic rather than missense.
cspec
PP3 Not assessed Not assessed: SpliceAI max delta 0.07 is below the 0.2 PP3 threshold, but the DICER1 rule also requires unavailable MaxEntScan concordance.
cspec spliceai
PP4 Not assessed Not assessed: PP4 requires a documented DICER1 RNase IIIb hotspot second hit with germline-variant retention, but no qualifying tumor result is available.
cspec
PP5 N/A Not applicable: the DICER1 VCEP excludes PP5, and ClinVar shows 0 expert-panel submissions for this exact variant.
cspec clinvar
BA1 Not met Not met: the highest gnomAD v4.1 subpopulation frequency was 5.68e-05, below the DICER1 VCEP BA1 threshold of >0.003.
cspec gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2
BS1 Not met Not met: the highest gnomAD v4.1 subpopulation frequency was 5.68e-05, below the DICER1 VCEP BS1 threshold of >0.0003.
cspec gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2
BS2 Not assessed Not assessed: gnomAD v4.1 reports 0 homozygotes, but no qualifying healthy homozygote or tumor-free female cohort is available for the VCEP BS2 rule.
cspec gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2
BS3 Not assessed Not assessed: no repeated RNA assay or controlled cleavage assay demonstrates normal function; SpliceAI max delta 0.07 alone cannot establish BS3.
cspec spliceai
BS4 Not assessed Not assessed: no phenotype-positive, genotype-negative relatives are documented to demonstrate non-segregation.
cspec
BP1 N/A Not applicable: the DICER1 VCEP explicitly excludes BP1, and c.734+6C>T is intronic rather than missense.
cspec
BP2 Not assessed Not assessed: no qualifying trans observation or three cis/phase-unknown observations with two or more P/LP DICER1 variants are documented.
cspec
BP3 N/A Not applicable: the DICER1 VCEP excludes BP3, and this variant is an intronic substitution rather than an in-frame deletion.
cspec pvs1_variant_assessment
BP4 Not assessed Not assessed: SpliceAI max delta 0.07 meets the <=0.1 BP4 threshold, but the DICER1 rule also requires unavailable MaxEntScan concordance.
cspec spliceai
BP5 N/A Not applicable: the DICER1 VCEP explicitly excludes BP5 because alternate-molecular-basis evidence is insufficient for this disorder.
cspec
BP6 N/A Not applicable: the DICER1 VCEP excludes BP6, and ClinVar has 0 expert-panel submissions for this exact variant.
cspec clinvar
BP7 N/A Not applicable: c.734+6C>T is intronic, whereas BP7 applies only to synonymous variants.
