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-Wiedeman

## Abstract We report on a boy with three cell lines: 46,XY, r(11)(p15.5,q25)[90]/45,XY,β11 [8]/47,XY, r(11)(p15.5,q25)x2[2], with minor anomalies and mental retardation who developed asynchronous bilateral Wilms tumors (WTs). Array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) performed on peripheral bl
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 BeckwithβWiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a congenital overgrowth disorder with a varying spectrum of clinical manifestations including macroglossia, omphalocele, hemihypertrophy, and a predisposition to a subset of embryonal tumors, most frequently Wilms' tumor (WT). A variety of cytogeneti
We report that transfection with a plasmid containing the N 4 0 early region (T) leads to a very high frequency of immortalization i n t w o different strains of human diploid fibroblasts, each with a partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 1 1. Immortalization often occurred without a recog
