Serum levels of mature microRNAs in DICER1-mutated pleuropulmonary blastoma
10 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
DICER1 is a critical gene in the biogenesis of mature microRNAs, short non-coding RNAs that derive from either -3p or -5p precursor microRNA strands. Germline mutations of DICER1 are associated with a range of human malignancies, including pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB). Additional somatic 'hotspot' mutations in the microRNA processing ribonuclease IIIb (RNase IIIb) domain of DICER1 are reported in cancer, and...
