Introduction: DICER1 is a member of RNase III family that has a pivotal role in the biogenesis of microRNAs, being important for normal development. Dysregulation of DICER1 has been described in different human tumours; however, there is insufficient data on the risk of thyroid cancer in the presence of germline DICER1 variants, particularly when focusing on the background of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). For this purpose, we ascertained the presence of DICER1 variants in 502 (PTC) cases available...
