Biallelic DICER1 mutations in sporadic pleuropulmonary blastoma.
Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare pediatric malignancy whose pathogens are poorly understood. Recent reports suggest that germline mutations in the microRNA-processing enzyme DICER1 may contribute to PPB development. To investigate the genetic basis of this cancer, we performed whole-exome sequencing or targeted deep sequencing of multiple cases of PPB. We found biallelic DICER1 mutation...

متن کاملChediak-Higashi syndrome: pathognomonic feature.
A 2 -year-old girl presented to us with recurrent infections, hepato splenomegaly, and photophobia. On examination she had blond hair with a metallic sheen. The blood smear showed giant lysosomes in the white blood cells (fi gure) and we diagnosed Chediak-Higashi syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disease (gene CHS1/LYST at 1q42.1-2). There have been around 200 cases reported, and giant cytop...
متن کاملGerm-line mutations in nonsyndromic pheochromocytoma.
BACKGROUND The group of susceptibility genes for pheochromocytoma that included the proto-oncogene RET (associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 [MEN-2]) and the tumor-suppressor gene VHL (associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease) now also encompasses the newly identified genes for succinate dehydrogenase subunit D (SDHD) and succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB), which predispos...
