Abstract excerpt
Germline loss-of-function mutations at the Wilms tumor (WT) suppressor locus WT1 are associated with a predisposition to WTs and mild genital system anomalies. In contrast, germ-line missense mutations within the WT1 gene encoding the DNA-binding domain often yield a more severe phenotype consisting of WT, sexual ambiguity, and renal nephropathy. In this report, we demonstrate that the products of mutant alleles...
