Abstract
The discovery of each new cancer susceptibility gene answers one set of questions but poses many more. In this article, we outline a recent example: a new cancer syndrome caused by germline mutations in DICER1, responsible for microRNA processing. In particular, we discuss the endocrine manifestations of mutations in this crucial gene.Entities:
