4 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Wilms' tumor 1 (Wt1) encodes a zinc finger nuclear transcription factor which is mutated in 15-20% of Wilms' tumor, a pediatric kidney tumor. Wt1 has been found to be involved in the development of many organs. In gonads, Wt1 is expressed in genital ridge somatic cells before sex determination, and its expression is maintained in Sertoli cells and granulosa cells after sex determination. It has been demonstrated...
