Constitutional and somatic mutations in the WT1 gene in Wilms' tumor patients.

Abstract excerpt

Wilms' tumor development, like most tumors, involves multiple genetic alterations affecting diverse genes. Only one of these has thus far been identified, the Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) gene on 11p13, which functions as a tumor suppressor gene. We assessed the involvement of the WT1 gene constitutionally and somatically in 26 Wilms' tumor patients. Of these, the clinical data suggest a constitutional pre-disposition in...
