Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in tumour cells is generally accepted as 'exposing' recessive cancer genes. The short arm of chromosome 11 shows consistent LOH in Wilms' tumours along its entire length. Occasionally, however, only the 11p13 and/or the 11p15 regions are involved. Deletions of the 11p13 region consistently predisposes to Wilms' tumorigenesis. We have analysed the recently cloned WT1 gene from the...
