In this study messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and DNA of five Wilms tumours were investigated. As expected, the level of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) II-mRNA was elevated up to 50 times in tumour tissue as compared to normal adjacent kidney tissue. In addition, genomic DNA was isolated and dig
## Abstract The most common known molecular defect in Wilms tumor (WT) of the kidney, the most frequent solid tumor of childhood, is loss of imprinting (LOI) of the insulinβlike growth factorβII gene (__IGF2__), which involves activation of the normally silent maternal allele of the gene and hyperm
