Unique insertional translocation in a childhood Wilms' tumor survivor detected when his daughter developed bilateral retinoblastoma
21 Mar 2003

Retinoblastoma and Wilms' tumor are rare childhood embryonic tumors associated with loss or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, RB1 located within 13q14, and WT1 located within 11p13. Interchromosomal insertional translocations occur rarely, and such rearrangements within RB1 or WT1, even rarer. We report a unique family in which an insertional translocation of a chromosomal segment that included band 13q14...
