Is DICER1 p.Gln548= (c.1644A>G) pathogenic?

DICER1 p.Gln548= (c.1644A>G) is classified Likely benign in DICER1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2026-01-22). Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with DICER1-related tumor predisposition.

What condition is associated with DICER1 p.Gln548= (c.1644A>G)?

DICER1 p.Gln548= (c.1644A>G) is associated with DICER1-related tumor predisposition, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is DICER1 p.Gln548= (c.1644A>G) in the general population?

DICER1 p.Gln548= (c.1644A>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is DICER1 tumor-predisposition syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.
