Cancer predisposition signaling in Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome drives Wilms tumor development.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Wilms tumor (WT) exhibits structural and epigenetic changes at chromosome 11p15, which also cause Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS). Children diagnosed with BWS have increased risk for WT. The aim of this study is to identify the molecular signaling signatures in BWS driving these tumors. METHODS: We performed whole exome sequencing, methylation array analysis, and gene expression analysis on BWS-WT...
