Recurrent Somatic<i>DICER1</i>Mutations in Nonepithelial Ovarian Cancers
21 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
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 of 14 nonepithelial...
