Exploring the endocrine manifestations of DICER1 mutations.
The discovery of each new cancer susceptibility gene answers one set of questions but poses many more. In this article, we outline a recent example: a new cancer syndrome caused by germline mutations in DICER1, responsible for microRNA processing. In particular, we discuss the endocrine manifestations of mutations in this crucial gene.

متن کاملBiallelic DICER1 mutations in sporadic pleuropulmonary blastoma.
Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare pediatric malignancy whose pathogens are poorly understood. Recent reports suggest that germline mutations in the microRNA-processing enzyme DICER1 may contribute to PPB development. To investigate the genetic basis of this cancer, we performed whole-exome sequencing or targeted deep sequencing of multiple cases of PPB. We found biallelic DICER1 mutation...
متن کاملSomatic mutations in DROSHA and DICER1 impair microRNA biogenesis through distinct mechanisms in Wilms tumors
Wilms tumour is the most common childhood kidney cancer. Here we report the whole-exome sequencing of 44 Wilms tumours, identifying missense mutations in the microRNA (miRNA)-processing enzymes DROSHA and DICER1, and novel mutations in MYCN, SMARCA4 and ARID1A. Examination of tumour miRNA expression, in vitro processing assays and genomic editing in human cells demonstrates that DICER1 and DROS...
متن کاملLack of mutations of exon 2 of the MEN1 gene in endocrine and nonendocrine sporadic tumors.
In addition to the mutations that underlie most cases of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome, somatic mutations of the MEN1 gene have also been described in sporadic tumors like gastrinomas, insulinomas and bronchial carcinoid neoplasm. We examined exon 2 of this gene, where most of the mutations have been described, in 148 endocrine and nonendocrine sporadic tumors. DNA was...
