Abstract Objective: We previously identified a pathogenic germline DICER1 variant in a child with transposition of the great arteries who was a member of a family with DICER1 syndrome. In view of a
report linking DICER1 knockout in murine cardiomyocytes to cardiac outflow defects, we investigated the involvement of DICER1 in transposition of the great arteries.
Design: We used Fluidigm access array followed by next generation sequencing to screen for variants in the coding exons, their exon/intron boundaries and the 30 untranslated region of DICER1
in patient DNA.
Cases: Germline DNA was collected from 129 patients with either sporadic or familial More >
