Classification
WT1-associated nephropathies
- diffuse mesangial sclerosis (DMS)
- focal and segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS)
- WT1-associated nephrotic syndrome (17541636)
WT-associated malformations
- Denys-Drash syndrome
- Frasier syndrome
- cryptorchidy
WT1 associated nonsyndromic Wilms tumors
- constitutional WT1 mutations in nonsyndromic WT patients. (2.1%) (15483024)
- Most mutations occurred in children with unilateral WT without associated genitourinary abnormalities. (15483024)
- Two factors that may indicate that an individual is carrying a germline WT1 mutation are an early age of onset and stromal-predominant histology of the WT. (15483024)
