โฆ Synopsis
Wilms' tumor has served as a model of multiple genetic alterations in childhood cancer. This review summarizes work in our laboratory identifying several of these alterations. These include the localization to 11 p l 5 of an embryonal tumor suppressor gene and at least one gene for Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, which predisposes to Wilms' tumor; as well as a novel mutational mechanism in man, loss of imprinting.

We attempted to determine whether all cases of AWTA (anirida-Wilms tumor association) or any of the following groups of patients show 11p deletion: cases of Wilms tumor with congenital abnormalities other than aniridia, those without any congenital abnormalities, tumor itself in cases of Wilms tumor
## Abstract Recent molecular studies have shown a relatively high rate of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at band 7p15โ21 in Wilms tumor. We previously reported that the minimal common region of LOH was located between markers __D7S517__ and __D7S503__ in bands 7p15โ21. We also reported the identifica
We have studied the involvement of chromosomal bands I I p I 3 and I I p 15.5 in I 5 testicular seminomas (SE) and I8 testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (NS). NO allelic imbalances were found in 40% of the SE and 44% of the NS. LOSS of heterozygosity (LOH) at I I p 15.5 was seen in 2 I % of
