Abstract excerpt
The WT1 gene essential for the embryonic kidney development is mutated in 15-25% of Wilms tumors (WTs). To clarify whether genetic subtypes of WT1 abnormalities are correlated with IGF2 or CTNNB1 alterations or clinicopathological characteristics, we performed comprehensive WT1, IGF2, and CTNNB1 analyses of 36 WTs with WT1 abnormalities using single nucleotide polymorphism arrays, and methylation analysis of the...
