Back to Diseases List

Overview

NCI Definition: An embryonal pediatric tumor of the kidney which may also be seen rarely in adults. The peak incidence of Wilms tumor is between the second and fifth year of life. Microscopically, it is composed of a mixture of cellular elements (blastemal, stromal, and epithelial). The most common sites of metastasis include the regional lymph nodes, lungs, and liver. [1]

Kidney Wilms tumors most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, MYCN, WT1, AMER1, and CTNNB1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Kidney Wilms Tumor

TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, CTNNB1 Mutation, and TP53 Exon 8 Mutation are the most common alterations in kidney Wilms tumor [2].
