FAM123B
WTX (or FAM123B) is a new X chromosome tumor suppressor gene. WTX is commonly inactivated in Wilms? tumor.
Pathology
WTX inactivation in sporadic Wilms tumor (MIM.194070) with tumoral deletions at chromosome Xq11.1
WTX inactivation by t(X;18)(q11;p11) with deletion of the WTX locus at Xq11. (17620295)
