Overview

Wilms' tumor may be caused by either genetic mutations or chromosomal alterations.

Causes

  • Other genes and chromosomal alterations:
    • 1q[4]
    • 16q and 1p[5]
    • CACNA1E[6]
    • 7p21
    • SKCG-1
    • TP53 (tumor suppressor gene)
    • FBXW7
    • PTCH1
    • DICER1
    • MYCN
