NM_177438.2:c.1468C>T (p.Arg490Cys) is a missense variant in exon 9 of DICER1.
This variant is present in gnomAD v4.1 at an overall allele frequency of 2.73e-05 (44/1,613,964 alleles) and at 3.18e-05 in v2.1 (9/282,736 alleles), with the highest subpopulation frequency in South Asians (v4.1: 0.00011). No homozygotes have been observed.
The variant does not meet the VCEP PM2 threshold (AF < 5.0e-06 with ≤1 allele per subpopulation), as the overall frequency exceeds this cutoff and multiple alleles are present in the South Asian subpopulation.
The variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 242039) as Uncertain significance by multiple clinical laboratories and as Likely benign by one submitter; review status is 'criteria provided, single submitter' with no expert panel classification.
The variant was observed as a somatic finding in one pineoblastoma tumor (RBTC779, MYC subgroup) without evident loss of heterozygosity, described as 'potentially deleterious' in a study of pineoblastoma molecular subgroups.
Computational predictors are indeterminate: REVEL score is 0.502 (borderline; VCEP PP3 requires ≥0.750, BP4 requires <0.500), SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.00), and BayesDel score is 0.158.
The variant is located at p.Arg490, which lies outside the VCEP-defined metal ion-binding residues and RNase IIIb domain; it is not in a statistically significant cancer hotspot.
No functional studies, de novo observations, segregation data, or tumor second-hit data were identified that would support application of any pathogenic or benign criterion at any strength level under the ClinGen DICER1 VCEP v1.4.0 framework.
Under the VCEP Tavtigian point-based system, no criteria are met in either the pathogenic or benign direction, yielding a total point value of 0, which classifies as Uncertain Significance (Rule3: -1 to 5 points).
No criteria match.

In contrast to group 1 and 2 tumors, sequencing of 22 RB and MYC sub-group PBs revealed only two potentially deleterious DICER1 mutations without evident LOH, one each in a MYC (RBTC779, c.1468N>T; p.R490C) and a RB subgroup (RBTC758, c.5240C>T; p.S1747L) tumor.
