The prevalence of germline DICER1 pathogenic variation in cancer populations
22 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The DICER1 syndrome is an autosomal dominant tumor-predisposition disorder associated with pleuropulmonary blastoma, a rare pediatric lung cancer. Somatic missense variation in "hotspot" codons in the RNaseIIIb domain (E1705, D1709, G1809, D1810, E1813) is observed in DICER1-associated tumors. Previously, we found the prevalence of germline pathogenic DICER1 variation in the general population is...
