Abstract excerpt
Homozygous deletions in Wilms' tumor DNA have been a key step in the identification and isolation of the WT1 gene. Several additional loci are also postulated to contribute to Wilms' tumor formation. To assess the frequency of WT1 alterations we have analyzed the WT1 locus in a panel of 77 Wilms'...
