28 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
A specific subset of solid childhood tumors-Wilms' tumor, adrenocortical carcinoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and hepatoblastoma-is characterized by its association with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Genetic abnormalities found in these tumors affect the same chromosome region (11p15), which has been implicated in the etiology of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. This suggests that the development of these tumors occurs along...
