## Abstract Many genes have been implicated in Wilms tumor; however, only one gene, __WT1__, has a proven role in the development of this embryonal tumor. Wilms tumor occurs in a number of congenital syndromes including the SimpsonβGolabiβBehmel syndrome (SGBS) which has phenotypic overlap with ano
Inactivation of one or more tumor-suppressor genes on the short arm of chromosome 11 is thought to play a role in the etiology of Wilms' tumor. A candidate gene, QM, was recently isolated by subtractive hybridization between a tumorigenic cell line (deleted for part of 11p) and a non-tumorigenic cel
