DICER1 syndrome is a rare monogenic disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. DICER1 protein is involved in the regulation of gene expression by microRNAs. Changes in the expression of DICER1 can be associated with various cancers. A 13,8-year-old girl with a history of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) of uterine cervix and vagina excised at 6 months of age is presented with a thyroid follicular nodular disease (TFND). Molecular genetic examination revealed a heterozygous pathogenic variant p.Arg1003Ter in the DICER1 gene (NM_030621.4). The presented case emphasizes the importance of molecular genetic diagnosis of DICER1 syndrome in a diagnostic algorithm in the management of patients with TFND and history of malignancy. Considering ERMS of genital tract as a probable component of DICER1 syndrome it is necessary to screen for other manifestations of the disease as well.
DICER1综合征是一种罕见的常染色体显性遗传单基因疾病。DICER1蛋白参与微小RNA对基因表达的调控。DICER1表达的改变可能与多种癌症相关。本文报告了一名13.8岁女孩,6个月大时切除了子宫颈和阴道胚胎性横纹肌肉瘤(ERMS),现患有甲状腺滤泡结节性疾病(TFND)。分子遗传学检查发现DICER1基因(NM_030621.4)存在杂合致病性变异p.Arg1003Ter。该病例强调了在TFND及有恶性肿瘤病史患者的诊断流程中,DICER1综合征分子遗传学诊断的重要性。考虑到生殖道ERMS可能是DICER1综合征的一个组成部分,也有必要筛查该疾病的其他表现。
