The French Wilms' tumour study: no clear evidence for cancer prone families.
Wilms' tumour of the kidney is known to occur in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. It has also been described in four cancer prone families displaying Li-Fraumeni syndrome but it is not usually considered to be part of this syndrome. In order to detect particular familial cancer aggregations associated with this tumour, we studied the cancer incidence and mortality among relatives of the 501 Wilms' ...
متن کاملNo Evidence of BRCA1/2 genomic rearrangements in high-risk French-Canadian breast/ovarian cancer families.
The discovery of deleterious mutations in the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, has facilitated the identification of individuals at particularly high risk of these diseases. There is a wide variation between populations in the prevalence and related risks of various types of BRCA1/2 mutations, so estimates cannot be extrapolated to Canadians, especially not found...

متن کاملSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Wilms’ Tumour Gene 1 in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
The Wilms' tumour gene 1 (WT1) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs16754 has recently been described as an independent prognostic factor in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients. It is of great interest to test whether WT1 SNPs can be used as a molecular marker in other cancer types in order to improve risk and treatment stratification. We performed sequencing analysis on all 10 exons of th...
متن کاملHypoglycaemia with Wilms' Tumour.
Hypoglycaemia occurring in association with certain extrapancreatic tumours, mesodermal in type and mostly malignant, has become a well-established entity of organic hypoglycaemia. Conn and Seltzer (1955), in a review of spontaneous hypoglycaemia, added this group to the well-known causes of organic hypoglycaemia, namely, pancreatic, hepatic, anterior pituitary, adrenocortical and central nervo...
