Resumo(s)
Deregulation of microRNA (miRNA) processing is a driver event in several tumours including thyroid cancer. DiGeorge Critical Region 8 (DGCR8) gene holds a critical role in miRNA biogenesis, as a microprocessor complex component, and in the development of the thyroid. Previous studies identified a DGCR8 mutation – the variant c.1552G>A p.(E518K) – in cases of thyroid cancer and proposed to cause a familial syndrome characterized by multinodular goitre (MNG) and schwannomatosis. The goal of this study was to characterize the variant p.(E518K) of DGCR8 in thyroid lesions and evaluate its expression.
