Recurrent somatic DICER1 mutations in nonepithelial ovarian cancers.
BACKGROUND Germline truncating mutations in DICER1, an endoribonuclease in the RNase III family that is essential for processing microRNAs, have been observed in families with the pleuropulmonary blastoma-family tumor and dysplasia syndrome. Mutation carriers are at risk for nonepithelial ovarian tumors, notably sex cord-stromal tumors. METHODS We sequenced the whole transcriptomes or exomes ...

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 کاملExploring 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 کاملCancer-associated recurrent mutations in RNase III domains of DICER1
Mutations in the RNase IIIb domain of DICER1 are known to disrupt processing of 5p-strand pre-miRNAs and these mutations have previously been associated with cancer. Using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas project, we show that these mutations are recurrent across four cancer types and that a previously uncharacterized recurrent mutation in the adjacent RNase IIIa domain also disrupts 5p-strand...
