Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: An embryonal neoplasm characterized by the presence of epithelial, mesenchymal, and blastema components. The vast majority of cases arise from the kidney. A small number of cases with morphologic features resembling Wilms tumor of the kidney have been reported arising from the ovary and the cervix. [1]

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

Most Commonly Altered Genes in 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 Wilms tumor [2].
