Ovarian Sex Cord-Stromal Tumors in Patients With Probable or Confirmed Germline DICER1 Mutations
4 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
The DICER1 gene encodes an endoribonuclease involved in the production of mature microRNAs which regulates gene expression through several mechanisms. Recent studies have demonstrated somatic mutations in DICER1 in approximately 60% of ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors. Furthermore, patients with germline mutations in DICER1 are predisposed to developing a range of rare neoplasms including ovarian sex...
