Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity studies have been used to identify chromosomal regions which are frequently deleted and thus indicate areas which may harbor tumor suppressor genes. As a result, both the WT1 gene located in chromosome 11p13 and an unidentified gene(s) within chromosome 11p15 have been implicated in Wilms' tumorigenesis. Cytogenetic and linkage studies suggest that additional non-chromosome 11 sites are...
