Abstract excerpt
Wilms tumours (WTs) have two distinct types of histology with or without ectopic mesenchymal elements, suggesting that WTs arise from either the mesenchymal or epithelial nephrogenic lineages. Regardless of the presence or absence of CTNNB1 mutations, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin is often observed in WTs with ectopic mesenchymal elements. Here, we addressed the relationship between the WNT-signalling...
