Familial multinodular goitre and schwannomatosis

Whole exome sequencing of a kindred with early-onset MNG and schwannomatosis with a germline pathogenic variants in DGCR8. MiRNA profiles of four tissue types were compared, and sequencing of MiRNA, pre-miRNA and mRNA was performed in a subset of 9 schwannomas, four of which harbor DGCR8-E518K.The variant identified is a somatic hotspot in WT and has been identified in two PTCs. Copy number loss of chromosome 22q, leading to loss of heterozygosity at the c.1552G>A;p.E518K locus, was found in all 13 samples harboring c.1552G>A;p.E518K. miRNA profiling of PTC, MNG, schwannomas and WT revealed a common profile among E518K hemizygous tumors.
