In DICER1 patients, aggressive congenital pituitary tumors lead to neonatal Cushing's disease (CD). The role of DICER1 in other corticotropinomas, however, remains unknown. Objective: To perform a comprehensive screening for DICER1 variants in a large cohort of CD patients, and to analyze their possible contribution to the phenotype. Design, setting, patients, and interventions: We included 192 CD cases: ten young-onset (age SN 1664-2392 YR 2020 FD 2020-07-03 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10668/27352 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10668/27352 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 11, 2025
