21 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DICER1 syndrome is a pediatric cancer predisposition condition causing a variety of tumor types in children and young adults. In this report we studied a family with two relatives presenting a variety of neoplastic conditions at childhood. METHODS: Germ-line mutation screening of the complete coding region of the DICER1 gene in genomic DNA from the proband was performed. The presence of somatic DICER1...
