Abstract excerpt
We have previously suggested the transcription factor gene POU6F2 as a novel tumor suppressor involved in Wilms tumor (WT) predisposition. Since WT arises from pluripotent embryonic renal precursors, in this study we analyzed the expression of the murine homolog Pou6f2 during kidney embryogenesis and compared it to that of Wt1, the homolog of WT1, a known WT related gene involved in mesenchyme to epithelium...
