Abstract excerpt
Nephrogenic rests consist of foci of primitive renal cells, typically microscopic, that are found within the normal kidney tissue of children with Wilms' tumour. To study the relationship between nephrogenic rests and the associated tumours, we screened these lesions for mutations in the 11p13 Wilms' tumour suppressor gene, WT1. In two cases in which the Wilms' tumour contained a somatic WT1 mutation, the...
