Abstract excerpt
The DICER1 gene is mutated in cancer, including in DICER1-related tumour predisposition. Cancer-associated hotspot mutations have been reported in both catalytic domains of DICER and are predicted to disrupt miRNA biogenesis. To understand how these hotspot mutations contribute to cancer development, we generate cell lines harbouring single amino acid substitutions within the catalytic RNase IIIa (S1344L) or...
