Table 4.

Points system for classifying DICER1 germline variants. Supporting, moderate, strong, and very strong codes receive 1, 2, 4, and 8 points, respectively, with pathogenic evidence codes in the positive direction, and benign evidence codes in the negative direction. Adapted Tavtigian et al. 2020 (PMID: 32720330)

Category Point ranges
Pathogenic ≥ 10
Likely Pathogenic 6 to 9
Uncertain 0 to 5
Uncertain with caveat −1
Likely Benign −2 to −6
Benign ≤ −7

A final point value of −1 may be overridden to Likely Benign only in cases where PM2_Supporting is applied AND no other pathogenic evidence codes are applied (e.g. BP4, BP7, PM2_Supporting).
