DICER1 and follicular variant thyroid gland papillary carcinoma: To determine the impact of DICER1 hotspot mutations on miRNA synthesis, we analyzed the differential miRNA expression in DICER1-mut DTC (six fvPTC and two FTC) vs non-neoplastic/adenomatous thyroids (n=26) using the HTG Edgeseq miRNA whole transcriptome assay which evaluates the expression of 2,083 human mature miRNAs.
